i meant suboptimal in terms of opportunity costs. there going to be a lot of fires to put out and not enough money for it all while stabilizing the bond market

but yea imo the political benefits worth it. i just dont want to shy away from the fact it likely means some people will die that shouldnt

youd be giving every household $24k to spend on groceries a year. a significant portion of which neither need the benefits nor can face a $24k tax hike

also encourage NotGreat behavior ie single household below FPL getting 24k a year in SNAP is a flashing neon sign saying sell groceries at a loss

generally yes but it depends on the program tbh, like you can't really do that with SNAP

back of napkin would have it balloon from 100 billion to over 3 trillion a year just on transfers

and its not possible to claw back a significant portion of it via taxes (separate from paying for it via taxes)

blanket student loan forgiveness and free public college

not optimal policy, you can do way more with means tested forgiveness + free public college + expanded medicaid/care for the same price tag but imo One Big Check buys a lot of political power with needed voters and won't suffer goldfish brain

every complaint you've ever heard about means testing isn't about means testing it's about administrative burden.

we means tested the expanded ctc and did auto enrollment with direct deposit. it fucking slapped and all our benefits should work like they did in that brief period

im not like a great representiation of the average Poors experience, but OBBBA or whatever the fuck its called plus shutdown prob cost me $1200 in snap and another $2k in medical bills

anytime theres an issue with it it takes a full day to resolve bc bus schedule or like $120 in taxis and an hour
