Don't think people stayed on welfare because of "phaseout structure"! Think they stayed on welfare because they COULD stay on welfare. When welfare was 'work-tested,' millions left to work, tho new system still had nasty "phaseouts." Biden plan will again let people stay on dole. https://t.co/zrkK8fnbeZ
