POLITICS Romney's Proposal

First thing the GOP has ever really thrown out in the form of child assistance. I like the intent, but haven't decided if I like the mechanics of it yet.

Do it. Reduce defense spending to balance out the spending increase.

 

Spending more money makes me nervous especially for something we know can never get cut after it passes.

 

reduce spending. Ha ha ha ha

 

I like child poverty being a spotlight issue, hopefully something good gets done.

 

UBI is almost a certainty, this is a step towards it.

 

I'm starting to warm up to this as a much more practical solution than our current welfare system.

 

I think a lot of people don't want to hear this, but it is coming and will be an utter necessity.

 

its a good starting point

 

You have to cute the current welfare system to make UBI work.

I don't think that will happen so both will be a cluster.

UBI with no wage laws or getting knocked for working would be interesting, if you cut the other stuff

 

Does this mean I gets more money if I have a whole bunch of kids? Because I'm totally not willing to do that. My time is worth way more than $350 a month to raise a kid until 6, and only $250 a month for a teenager.

 

The problem with ubi is it won't replace anything. Will just be added on top, which makes no sense if a ubi is supposed to allow people to do the things they need assistance for now.
