[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought we already learned the lesson that giving outright cash to people is a bad idea. [/quote] We learned the very opposite, and a academic research has confirmed it: giving money to people in poverty, relieves poverty. It’s just politically difficult because, as we see in this thread, conservatives -hate- giving money to people in poverty (tax breaks for rich people are just fine).[/quote] Poverty has existed for thousands of years and will continue to exist long after you and I are gone. I'm quite confident if something like this actually worked over the long run, we would have discovered so by now. [/quote]
