[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love how DCUM brings so many retrograde Reaganites out of the woodwork. Cash transfers to low-income households are one of the best ways we have to fight poverty and improve the lives of the most vulnerable, especially children. Turns out giving money to impoverished people relieves poverty. What a concept! Here’s one recent study finding that cash transfers are associated with reduced mortality among women and kids: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06116-2[/quote] You can volunteer your tax dollars. According to the county, 167k residents are within 200% of the poverty line. Giving each of them 9k a year would cost $1.5 billion. Last year the entire county budget was $3.5 billion. [/quote]
