Basically telling them to eat smaller meals so they think that they are full and to return their Christmas presents for extra income.
On one hand of course this is extremely offensive and demeaning. Like what the fuck. Who let that get published?
Now I'm not one of these politicians who don't understand economics and are demanding that the minimum wage gets raised to $23 an hour (paging Elizabeth Warren- let's have a Pow wow). But certainly they are entitled to a higher wage and better benefits. Something liveable.
Although it was implemented horribly I like the thought behind it. One of the things that needs to be done to help the welfare state in this country is to teach people how to budget. I'm sure the liberals thinks that makes me racist/evil/elitist other bad words but it's true. I work with people in low income housing that need their payments made on certain days because that's when they get their checks. They can't hold on to the money for a certain time because they will spend it. It's that type of behavior that needs to be corrected to get out of this mess.
But take smaller bites of your food? Really McDonalds? Jesus.
