And where does that Money come from?

It's a pilot program, funding comes from a 1 million dollar grant, and crowdfunding. Alaska had a similar program a while back!
-
Fred, sorry, I neglected to mention the grant is from The Economic Security Project.
-
Ah Ok. A Grant...thank you for the information.
-
A private grant. Not government. Economic Security Project.

that "free" money will be back in the hands of wealthy people after it's used for $200 air Jordans
-
Well if rich people are gonna end up with it anyway, poor people might as well get some Jordan’s along the way

This reminds me of the science "experiments" we did in high school. Interesting a way, but it's not like we don't already know how it turns out.
-
Yes, similar experiments elsewhere already suggest that this is generally fruitful and that people on average spend the money wisely and productively. But we do still need much more research like this to figure out all the variables and to persuade those who scream ‘communism’.

socialism is a failed economic ideology that strips individuals of economic freedom, incentives, innovation and productivity. This is madness. California should be disqualified from the union.
-
Fine, let us out. We’ll take that 5th largest global economy and stop paying federal income taxes.
-
Guess what sweetheart, Silicon Valley firms and much of Hollywood would FLOCK to the United States in order to pay lower national taxes- CA’s “fifth largest world economy” would be gone like the wind
-
They are free to do that now, sweetheart.

I don't think Amy understands how the economy works.
-
Amy does. None of you Republicans do. And never have.

It just doesn't work. Believe me, I'm from Brazil. We have it here.
-
But you’re in Brazil. How does that relate to California? Are you an economist?
-
No, I'm not. I just tried to say that this idea sounds beautiful, but doesn't work. No matter where you are, socialism and "free" cash doesn't work, not only down here, in the "third world".
