Sorry, pal.  You cannot guilt-shame people about being angry that their tax dollars - which they work hard for - are going to provide free money to people with no strings attached... and even to people who are present illegally.  This is some crazy-ass stuff.  [/quote]

Would you feel better if this pilot program required recipients to pay money for the money? Or if the pilot program told the recipients what they had to spend the money on? How about Social Security - are you angry that your tax dollars, which you work hard for, are going to provide free money to people with no strings attached?[/quote]

I would at least want it tied to US citizenship and maybe 1 year of residence in Fairfax.[/quote]

The criteria are:

1. Employed
2. Older than 18
3. Live in Fairfax in 1 of 10 specified zip codes
4. Have at least one child aged 16 or younger living in the household
5. Not receiving any other form of government assistance (for example, SSDI)
6. Total household income at 150-250% of poverty level (for example, $45-75,000 for a household with 4 people)

$750 a month, for 180 randomly-selected eligible families, for 15 months.

That's not restrictive enough for you?[/quote]
