How do we get this number down to 0 without massive riots or an economic collapse?
I think the Negative Income Tax is a good idea.
Isn't the NIT just paying poor people in money instead of food? What's the difference?

Stop subsidizing large multinationals that employ people at below living wages.
>>75642127
This.
>>75641586
replace it with a monetary payment. then make sure that neither that payment nor the means-test cutoff above which you may not receive it is linked to inflation. wait 30 years.
>end outsourcing
>end mass immigration
>end cheap credit
>deport all blacks to Africa
that would be a start

participation rises by 5% in 4 years, population growth is a little less than 1% annually in the US. Let's freak out guys because these numbers didn't actually change in 5 years.

negative income tax would drive up national debt which would decrease gdp growth in the quarters debt is incurred
that would decrease the value of the dollar when the next evaluation for the currency occurs
we could generate a cut off and no new applications for government assistance would be accepted. people grow old and die it would decrease it over time so there wouldnt be a sudden burst of people who couldnt afford the cost of living

Make it economically viable for a family to actually work for a living.
Its not that much different here; if people get/make more money living off the state, why would they work?
Food stamps are subsidising big business, encourage them to pay proper fucking wages (this includes cutting immigration to raise wages)

Why doesn't that graph start at 0 on the vertical axis instead of about 26m?
Kill all white people desu
>>75645910
Why do I have a feeling that they are counting spics as white for that?
>>75645679
>subsidising
so if big business closes down and no one has any jobs will there be more or less foodstamp usage?
>>75646164
It's just another one of those "Let's ignore percent of population" sets of data.
>>75645910
maybe because they make up 80% of the population... what percentage of blacks are on foodstamps as opposed to whites? in the USA 25% of all foodstamps go to blacks even though they are only 10-15% of the population
>>75646164
And that they're using absolute, rather than relative, percentage rates.
>>75641586
Food stamps are great
>>75646474
Enjoy paying tax to subsidise sports direct and McDonalds
Replace foodstamps with a food replacement like soylent.
Make SNAP only be allowed on generic brand food items. Make buying "luxury" items like lobster and top cuts of steak etc. not allowed.
>>75645261
>>75646603
38% IIRC go to Blacks. Same for public housing.
>>75646474
Do you think no one would replace those businesses? You think the gaping vacuum of demand left wouldn't be swiftly filled by someone who was OK with being rich but-not-quite-as-rich as the company before it?
But realistically, you think e.g. Walmart is going to pack up and bail because they only make 125bil in revenue instead of 250?
>>75646939
>thinking people on welfare are making these kinds of meals
Most of the dudes spend it on shit like oven pizzas, chips, cookies, etc. If anything you should be discouraging people away from cheap shit and trying to get them to buy actual steaks because steaks have nutritional value and hot pockets don't.

Progressive: "It's the total number that matters!"

>>75647470
Progressivism places a high value on subjectivity because it's premises are refuted by objective reality.
>>75647435
Yeah and they shouldn't be allowed to spend it on the name brand Digorno pizza that's 2 dollars more expensive than the grocery store generic brand.
>>75647596
Fuck. Its.
Food Stamps are just subsidies for businesses. All that money goes right back into the economy, I would rather it go towards food than whatever kike wars conservatives support.
>>75646796
if it wasn't for sports direct and mc donalds you wouldnt have any bennies you lazy cunt. they subsidise your welfare not the other way round. pull your head out of corbyns arse

if there was a company able to replace walmart for less profit it would be happening already. it doesn't need to close down for competition to take over.

They're not that costly. We should reduce the military budget. That shit has gotten way out of hand
