As usual, DeParle gives as fair an account as we’re going to get from the MSM. Includes both sides & their studies. But can’t reliably model growth of underclass after 10 years of a new dole. Have to look back at pre-‘96 welfare, which helped create our greatest social problem.

The Dem lame duck push to restore no-work cash welfare is on. Incredibly expensive with disastrous long term social consequences (ie more non working never-married-single-mother households). Sawhill: Manchin right to reject it. https://t.co/FWHzYuue1F

If I were paranoid I’d even say it’d be easier for give-them-cash types to gut work requirements by fiddling with an algorithm than by getting a change thru Congress. Suddenly transfers to non-workers start getting bigger (the way the algo seemed to boost pageviews on Twitter!)

Also not the best moment to propose incorporating blockchain technology into the safety net! But that shouldn’t be disqualifying. It mostly seems like a distraction from the basic, non-fintech need to require work. https://t.co/joA6QORUWj

If the idea is a less bureaucratic way to reward work, it might make sense. If it’s going to ding a breadwinner every time they go to a bar instead of straight home to spouse after work, could be a little intrusive! https://t.co/rzPV4gUHTg
