If you earn 22001 you get 0 from aid. if you earn 18000 you get 4K. I realize that this creates a disincentive but 22k is purely sustaining a life. No frills.

anyway. that's my thought for the day

Interesting thought of the day.

I personally dont like the idea of free money. I live in an apartment/town house neighborhood with section 8 families, and I love the kids, theyre friends with my daughter, i made like 6 grilled cheese sandwiches for them this weekend and they hang in my house a lot.

But their mom and dad dont work. Doesnt appear they try to work. Doesdnt appear they try to even get their kids to school. I went to law school, work kinda hard, wake up early every day I answer the bell .. yet we live in identical townhouses. I am living below what i could but still.

They got into a big car accident, took a vacation to Florida, bought a new used car and within a month it doesnt run anymore, tag expired and it sits there in the parking lot. You give my section 8 neighbors 22k and they are spending it in 1 month and then right back to needing 100% assistance.

Flip side - my ex cant get on section 8 bc MD stop taking names, has applied to a billion jobs and cant get hired and im paying like 2k plus a month for her. She would homeless ... she tries her ass off, she wants to work, shes a good person and somehow since she doesnt know the system she gets zero assistance but my neighbors get a townhouse ...

Id vote Kasich for sure.

The only thing i would say is in my system, if someone blows the 22k there is no additional assistance. At first of course the shock would be overwhelming but any additional charity would be that charity from private citizens. On the other side if three 20 year olds got a small bedroom and minimized other expenses, they could invest much of their living capital to finance a small car shop in a way not possible now.
