    Just an incredible story in The Times. Poverty *fell* in April and May, per one study, bc of the massive federal welfare expansion — including expanded unemployment & $1,200 checks — even as the economy fell into a black holehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/21/us/politics/coronavirus-poverty.html#click=https://t.co/6LfQmIUQ2G …

        Real key here to remember: Poverty fell here NOT due to increasing education rates or stronger work incentives — but amid an enormous infusion of government money, much of which was directed toward the bottom of the income distribution

        Wow poverty falls when everyone is given $1,200? Why not do this more when it's clear the US can run on unlimited debt because nobody is going to come collect on them they have nukes and armies on every continent on the planet?

        This tells you these are studies w/o any credibility. They need to just travel through the country look at the food lines & the homeless on the street. These are studies that allow govt to let ppl starve & die w/o healthcare. Screw the studies & take core of the ppl
