Biden’s let in 2-3 million so far, mostly on questionable “asylum” claims . Seems like enough “scale” to me! For years Dem economists have rightly wanted tight labor markets to produce better pay at bottom, jobs for ex-cons, etc. Now that we have them, Biden’s trying to end them https://t.co/Kd7gyAD9cK

But the SNAP deal might be bad–in the other direction. Concession to Dems that exempts the homeless from the requirements seems likely to have perverse consequences https://t.co/1E0I9WWHlA https://t.co/AOKaXrQRb7

Most people wouldn’t do that (move to a tent). But a non-trivial fraction will.
We have a homeless crisis! Why are we enacting new policies as part of the debt deal that are likely to create *more* homeless? A misguided concession to Democrats.

Non-crazy hypothetical: You’re sleeping on your sister-in-law’s couch. She’s tired of you. Maybe you take drugs. She keeps nagging you to get a job. Your food stamp benefit stops after 3 months. But you can keep getting it without working if you move to a tent on the street. https://t.co/JMcvFvrjxF

.@nytimes speculates the debt deal’s exclusion of the homeless from work requirements “may also add people to food stamp rolls.” The real worry is that it will INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS people. Want your food stamps to continue? Go live on the street https://t.co/VwjZ1hpzDu

Here is a link that works https://t.co/671zs9YQUY See also https://t.co/VwjZ1hp1NW The deal extends SNAP work requirements to age 54 (from 49) but apparently exempts homeless of *all* ages.

So if you become homeless you don’t have to work (or deal with that bureaucracy)? This perverse incentive could be a disaster, no? https://t.co/nyGOx8St07 via @HuffPostPol
