Effect in avoiding non-work/culture of welfare in this plan would seem to be minimal. Why not just have more generous benefits with a work test (which is not necessarily onerous–was only $2500 a YEAR)? https://t.co/fX12xRZ0mI

Seems like a fake “meet in the middle” proposal. Preserves welfare/no-work checks for parents of kids <6. What % of the parents who’d get welfare in Biden’s BBB plan is that? Suspect it’s way > half. (Includes parents who have a 2d kid when 1st kid hits 6) https://t.co/vzzLXRxmQV

I should say I’m a friend of @RuthSBarrett1, I liked her piece on insane niche high-school sports and think @TheAtlantic bizarrely came down on its own writer like a ton of bricks for unknown reasons, over a trivial wrong fact (in a piece that held up under its re-fact-checking) https://t.co/LQjG13vvvf

I mean: Raging deadly pandemic, need for quick collective action. If there’s ever a good reason for Congress to delegate authority, this is it. (Whether they did or not another question-but why bend over backwards to say no? Whether mandate’s good policy isn’t SCOTUS’s call.) https://t.co/NVZpUFFSjC
