If he want's to take it out of pocket then he has the right to do that. If he is expecting the Government to do it then STFU. He can play with his own money.

What can you buy for 500.00 a month?

 

An inexpensive car, 500 a month

a new TV

several real nice dinners out

120 Starbucks Caffe Latte

26 car washes at 18.95 per was

1 month of child care

10 My Pillows

568  Snickers Candy Bars at .88 per

etc etc etc. Feel free to add to the list.

 

Terrible idea imo. Just what America needs, people buying 568 Snickers candy bars every month.  That’s over 125 per week!! 

Yikes!!!!

Don't they already call that welfare ? Dumb arsses. Let me guess rich people can't that. Rich being defined as anyone earning above $100K a  year for a family of 4.

I believe Mexifornia is trying to pass or has passed a very similar law on a small trial basis. Any bets on how that slop bucket legislation is gonna work out??

Imagine all the homeless illegals, drug addicts, and other such human sludge that are camped along

the roads there and in their "public" parks....

 

Now they can all afford lawn chairs and Hibachis & more drugs...!!!!    

 

They should move their "camps" to Nancy Pelosi's front lawn...!   

"hey Nance, ya plush lush...!  looka us ! 

Between the Trump tax break "crumbs" and this FREE money,

we were able to afford new living room furniture , a new stove , "prescriptions" and move to a better neighborhood -- YOURS ! "

Does this "guaranteed income" come with a "mandatory job"? We could probably put a lot of people to work in the farmlands, new road construction, etc.

INDY !     How dare you suggest these recipients in "Mexifornia" (haha!) take those jobs away from

other illegal aliens currently doing them "Because Americans don't want to".

 

You just gave all the lefty kommies here a stroke, man !

We Americans LOVE excessive taxation with little or zip nada positive results......it's a right for others to expect taxpayers to support them......don't believe me just ask em.

Sure I have an idea how that give away will go if it passes. You will have to be homeless to get said money. Plus have a current ID or DL plus a SSN.  Ya don't have one , no problem, they will give them all to you; plus they will register you to vote and remind you the Democratic Party of Cali gave all this to you. So remember to vote for da Dems come election time. If you should mention the Dems are buying their votes Civil Libertard types will slam you as racist, xenophobes. The "number" of homeless will skyrocket. Plus no one will have to get a job. Like $500 will buy you a house anywhere in Cali. Wait and see. If that doesn't bankrupt this beautiful state what will? Oh they will double the car registration fees after just tripling them. Maybe they will offset it with future income from that bullet train from no where to no where, and double the ticket prices even before the thing is built. You know the bullet train everyone else says there won't be enough customers to warrant0 the price tag for said train anyway. Yup, it will go something like that.

Oh boo hoo I got a neg for speaking the truth. Guess Gov. Jerry (Moonbeam) Brown, or his Libertard cousins, troll DV. Eh, to each their own. If you are like me though, google the top 10 m9st conservative states in the US and make plans to move to one of those states. Git youa CC license.
