Perfect Answer to Ocasio-Cortez

“No, I’m very good with numbers,” Ocasio-Cortez said. She held up a notebook with a few hastily scrawled numbers on it. She pointed to one. “This one is a four.”

Wait until AOC starts espousing the "benefits" of the universal basic income!

To call AOC an idiot would be a tremendous insult to idiots.

Too many people today regard teachers, experts and scientists as “elitists.”

Anyone who presents new information to them feel like they are being put down.
Instead of offering an intelligent response they call names and disrespect them instead.

charles murray has an interesting perspective on it - he suggests a universal basic income coupled with the total dismantling of all governmental social programs - he makes a strong case that one won't work without the other

when it comes to the hierarchy of idiocy, AOC is at the tippy-top!

To call other people names is both immature and boorish.
It becomes the shabby, ultimate refuge from a reasoned, adult dialogue.

So ... don't work and you get a basic income (whatever that means),. or work and pay for everyone else's 'basic income'.

These people live in a fantasy world where reality is just all fun and games.

murray's scheme (which is the only one i'm familiar with) allows for a minimalist lifestyle - for example, it has mandatory payments taken out for health insurance, so the unworking poor won't be a social drain on our existing health care system - past that, you're on your own with regard to choice - how you choose to spend your $700/month is all up to you - but if you choose unwisely, there's no government programs to fall back on

murray presents it as a way to rid us of the nanny state, to make citizens take responsibility for their actions and choices

It's still a tremendous incentive to laziness and claiming other people's hard work as their own.

Fairy tales all the way down.

How many people will take $700 a month with free health care? What if it's everybody?

These politicians all think that money grows on trees.

Do we open the borders and let in everyone that wants to participate in the universal basic income?

That system will be exploited in the same way that subsidies intended for small independent farms have been exploited by large farming conglomerates.

the thing is, we're already paying that (and more) if you count the cost of all the social programs our tax dollars support

murray's scheme dismantles a huge administrative bureaucracy and replaces it with a simple check-writing service

while i haven't examined his numbers closely (and he's silent on what to do with all the administrative bureaucrats who no longer have jobs) he presents it as less expensive than what we have now and designed to encourage personal growth (which the current welfare system discourages)


for a personal example, i can't live on $700/month - not unless i give up my car and a lot of lifestyle choices i enjoy

all susbsidies would be ended as well - murray argues for a minimalist role for government, including minimal obstruction from government for private enterprise to enter the field of support for those businesses that can show the potential for being successful

I get that, but if you think that this magic program will eliminate all of the existing programs.... not gonna happen.

... murray argues for a minimalist role for government...

btw - this is why the left loathes him (even though he is more closely aligned with traditional liberal views - he's been forced to identify as a libertarian) to the point of insisting he's a racist (see SPLC thread)
