Riiiiight, because $800/month is enough to live the good life in MoCo. $800 would get you a shared room in a basement. Ten years ago.

However, it COULD make the difference for someone who needs to fix their car to get to a job interview, to not have to choose between utilities and groceries, or not have to ration insulin and die.

Like all government programs, this one will never end and only expand. You wouldn't want to deprive someone of their insulin?

This isn’t equal and I want to see people up for success and this is not. I’ve worked in these programs. It’s not just about money.

This should have been put on the ballot. I do not want to pay for this.

Cause Moci needs more freeloaders? Geez. Businesses are struggling as is. What a stupid stupid idea!

Some of you need to watch Maid. I don’t like Jawando but this is a pilot program to see if it works. I would rather fund this than pay for some of other BS our taxes pay for.

That's really the example you want to use to make your point?

No. Some silly TV show does not sway me. I don't want to be taxed for this. Especially if not citizen tested. We will be drawing in problems. No way. Stupid plan.

I could cry. I can't be taxed anymore here. It's really time to move. Why try for better for my family when my work has to carry the burden of so many. Bye bye moco.

Why do you hate poor people? Give them skills to move up not money. Noone should have to be a dependent of the state.
