As the horde of Democratic Presidential candidates continue to try to outdo one another in how much ‘free shit’ they can give away, one man in the crowd just turned up the idiocy to ’11’…
Forget about small things like ‘Obamaphones’, Sara Carter reports that Andrew Yang, the Democratic presidential hopeful is promising to pay $1000 once a month to every American if he is elected in 2020.
A supporter of universal basic income, Yang already launched a pilot program for free cash payments known as the Freedom Dividend.
He selected a family in Goffstown, New Hampshire, who he says will be receiving $12,000 cash for the year.
In 2018, According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were about 127.59 million households in the United States. So if you do the math, and if Andrew Yang’s little project just target every household in America, this would cost $1.5 Trillion every year.
But that is a drop in the ocean, as Mr. Yang has quite the array of ‘free’ offerings for Americans in his platform…

This is proof that there is still slavery in the USA. The democrat party has bought and paid for these votes unfairly and not squarely. As long as these imbeciles are anesthetized by free goodies they will vote for the real slave masters…..the democrats and sit on their a$$es on a milk carton on the front porch whining about life and how the republiclowns hate them and are of course…racist.
Subsidized housing, free phones, free healthcare (still to a certain extent) free vittles at school for the spawn and food cards for the grown up vittles that may or may not include smokes, beer and lobster/crabs legs. It all depends on who is running the cash register and who’s watching.
“free healthcare”
Not ‘to a certain extent.’ It is free (Medicaid still exists).
“victuals”
Good catch DRUD. I was gonna grammar Nazi his ass but you beat me to it.
My mom taught me the proper spelling while watching Granny use the word on “The Beverly Hillbillies”. c. 1963
Actually, both victuals and vittles are common slang for edible cuisine in the south.
The YANGGANG train has left the station. Next stop, the broken track bridge over the highest river. I brought my popcorn and smuggled candy from the dollar store. Can’t wait to see how it ends…(sarcasm off).
He has already ‘altered’ the $1000/month plan.
First it was $1000/month per person. Then someone found a calculator.
Then it was $1000/month per adult. Then someone remembered the calculator.
Now it’s $1000/month per household.
Today, he’ll probably tell us Mexico is going to pay for it.
Next it will be a framed picture of $1000 per household.
Then it will be a .png image of $1000 per household, delivered to your new free Yangphone.
Ultimately, each household will probably need to pay $5000/month in new taxes to pay for their free .png image of $1000/month, which will ultimately also come with the new Bureau of Unrestrained Spending (employing the entire nation of Taiwan to administer the program).
Frankly, I’m not looking forward to our new war to free the Hory Rand (mainland China), either.
Tell me that picture ain’t worth a thousand words. lmao
Problem for Yang is that electing someone president takes work – not something his supporters are real big on.
The idiot makes it all too complicated. Do away with money and decree that everything is free. Want a dozen donuts? Go over to the local donut shop, wait in line behind all the policepersons, and eventually you get your dozen, free. As in no cost. No money needed. How the d-rats convince all the shop owners to play their game is beyond my pay grade.
Said it before, will say it again.
Yang needs to find him a Ying,
slip into a 69 like the symbol;
maybe find his Zen.
Try to see it once my way.
Everything Zen?
I don’t think so.
Fuck yeah, & hot damn! $1000 a month so I can buy all the shit I cant afford now. A new AR & a case of ammo every month. I’ll vote for that. Maybe it will hasten the coming SHTF.
It’s going to get sporty.
Even if the dipshits promising free everything lose, all of bottom believes it possible, expects it even, and will continue to expect it.
The genie is out of the bottle.
I’m not sure the people on EBT and other subsides realize they are in peril.
I think giving every US citizen( only) money paid for by a sales tax is a good idea.
Once everyone gets welfare and the program fails, the people who lose it will demand others lose all other forms of welfare as well.
This it what will happen to Obamma Care . ” Take my subside away and not the person with pre existing condition and there will be hell to pay.”
How much to buy people? and I thought Bernie Sanders made me ill.
Trump is a place holder for the PTB until they can consolidate their grip on the government as in California, Illinois and New York. When that happens all pretense of rule of law will stop. Good luck all I’m to old to be affected. He is not doing anything of substance to make TBP people happy.
