Oregon Bill to Subsidize Homelessness

As with inflation, Democrats want the homelessness crisis to get worse. If not, explain this:

A proposed Oregon bill would provide the deep blue state’s homeless population $1,000 per month that recipients could use at their own discretion.

The bill, introduced last month, would establish a People’s Housing Assistance Fund Demonstration Program to give 12 monthly thousand-dollar payments to those suffering from homelessness or who are on the brink of becoming homeless.

You won’t even have to be homeless to be given other people’s money.

People who spend more than 50 percent of their monthly household income on rent, and those who earn 60% or less of the area median income would also be eligible for the funding.

Already Oregon has a homelessness problem.

The state has been experiencing a long-lasting homeless issue for several years, especially in areas like Portland where up to 700 tent camps have taken over sections of the city.

To quote Ronaldus Magnus, if you want more of something, you subsidize it. However, with some things, decriminalization does the job:

The state has also been dealing with increased drug use and trafficking after it passed a law decriminalizing street drugs last year.

No one could be this stupid. Liberals are destroying America on purpose.

In the short term, the leftists who rule Oregon will be doing their first good deed by passing the bill. The rest of the country will be cured of homelessness as drug-addled derelicts head west to get their free drug money.

But then the moonbattery will metastasize to other jurisdictions.

When Democrats achieve the leverage to impose similar handouts at the national level, game over. All future elections will be won by whomever promises to raise the payouts by the most. When the economy collapses beneath the burden of inflation and taxation and because too few have a reason to work, straightforward Marxism can be imposed. This is the ultimate objective of Democrat economic policy.
