First, it wouldn't be inflation. You notice below that I said inflation is dumb. In Canada, we do exactly what I'm describing. We judge that it is UNACCEPTABLE for innocent people to live in absolute destitution for reasons beyond their control. That's how WE coped with the Depression. You didn't, because Hoover was a hidebound conservative and Roosevelt was a faux populist.
Second, Obama can't just "order this" by fiat. But he IS the architect of the budget he _can_ propose legislation...and if he couldn't sell this to the country when you have several million people who are homeless or fast heading for that situation, he is a total amateur. To crush the phobia of "socialism" he could just define the program as automatically ending when the employment rate is above a certain percentage by a certain metric. If he were still having problems just trot out all the Bible verses about caring for the poor. I mean crap, do you people TRULY still _believe_ that poverty in a _depression_ is the fault of the "lazy poor"?
Third,to just out and out insult me _after_ putting words into my mouth is EXTREMELY rude.
Wow. That's an offensive statement.
