yall gotta quote me where yang says hes down to abolish social programs man, tired of seeing this everywhere
"What's gonna happen is you're gonna dramatically reduce enrollment for these programs because a lot of people will be like I prefer the cash and then this new incoming population will just opt for the dividend and never end up in these welfare programs and end up shrinking the enrollments over time. You just wouldn't do it all at once because there are a lot of people in distinct situations. And this is much more politically feasible and popular than trying to go in and tear these programs from the roots up."
From the Rubin interview in the Sam Seder clip I posted (pg 37). SSDI seems safe, but in that interview he mentioned 600 billion dollars worth of programs in place followed by the transcribed bit above. This was in response to Rubin asking why he wouldn't just end those programs outright.
