It's an economic stimulus package
I'm sorry, all the republican governor near you heard that you're wasting money that could have gone to paying lawyers who will sue womens for getting abortions.
And one many times more effective than any stimulus package Congress has passed since the the 70s at the very latest.
This is how I want my tax dollars spent.
Not on genocide. Not on other countries' wars.
People often complain about Oregon's high state tax but if my taxes are funding programs like these, I'm not complaining at all.
Anjala Huff, a senior director at PSY, said many of the government funding streams that go towards ending youth homelessness have tight rules regarding how the money can be spent. The process can be further complicated by sending money through community based organizations. That’s not so with direct cash transfers.
So a UBI would also streamline a TON of government programs like disability, worker’s comp, welfare, etc
I don’t quality for this, yet it doesn’t make me angry that they do. See how that works, conservatives?
