82. are these not idiots familiar with the concept of perverse incentives
Edited on Wed Apr-14-10 03:44 PM by miscsoc
or are they consciously trying to discourage people from improving their situation and becoming productive members of society.

what on earth sort of "principles" are involved here? it's punishing people for working.

If I was unemployed and homeless this sure as hell would make me less likely to want to get a job.

The policy is fucking demented from any political perspective.
