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

The primary issue is 'can able bodied people [not in a pandemic] get cash without working.' Whether it's means-tested cash or 'universal' cash is a secondary issue that today's Left and the Ryanist Right (marginal tax rates are everything) seems too obsessed with. https://t.co/A5cGZnobuk

Wee bit of overstatement! LAT was a wet blanket on local political engagement for decades. If it had gone away long ago something better (tabloidy, or Texas Tribune-y) might already be fillling the void. https://t.co/alNdFWtxRW

Just as feared: No on Tanden (silly because she is perfectly qualified) substitutes for yes on $120B new cash welfare (whether work or not) program included in COVID relief bill.

Manchin Comes Out against Neera Tanden’s Confirmation as OMB Director https://t.co/nswuRBmpiO Would be better if Manchin showed his independence with a dissent on a) immigration amnesty or b) the Dems' new no-work-needed checks-for-kids welfare scheme.

The explanation given in the study–that high achievers without credentialed parents simply don't answer the question because they "are reluctant to report that they have poorly educated parents," seems plausible but not compelling … 2/
