SC: Southern Workfare Act of 2016 (Statute)

[White Trash]

This is too restrictive on the lifestyles of welfare recipients. The fact that so much of it is mandatory just doesn't sit well with me.

[White Trash]

I'd like to propose an amendment to the bill striking the sections that make participation mandatory, and instead make it an optional program.

Just rephrased Section 2.1 to remove references to making this program mandatory for all able-bodied  welfare recipients.

Aye

What do people think of abolishing all need-based welfare programs and replacing them with universal income?

You mean like a basic income?

I think we will need to see how it is implemented around the world first, before we take a swing at something as massive as switching to a system of Basic Income.

I agree with this sentiment. There really is no established precedent for this kind of move.

[White Trash]

I'd like to go ahead an vote on the bill as is. Moving toward Universal Basic Income is a very radical move and does not seem like it has much support currently.

Aye
