If Dems want whatever they pass to be successful they need to consider the administrative burden they are creating to enroll in programs. Programs shouldn't require a bunch of paperwork, calls, and frustration. No need to practice administrative exclusion and design programs in a way to make deter eligible beneficiaries form claiming benefits. That's the repubs job.
Stimulus check. Low administrative burden, IRS took care of everything. Americans didn't need to prove their income levels with a fukk ton of pre-certification/ post certification proof of income documents. Want a COVID-19 vaccine, in and out within 30minutes without having to fill out endless forms. Originally rent relief required a bunch of paperwork, proof of income, hardship, etc. Dems are now reversing and trying to change that.
If Dems want to prove that government is a net + for Americans getting help from the gov has to be easy. Of course for a certain class of Americans accessing government benefits is already fast and burdenless, i.e. home mortgage interest deduction but new and existing programs for low income Americans have to be refined and have government take on the administrative burden. The reason a lot of programs even require a bunch of paperwork is due to an obsession w fraud born out of the Reagan 'welfare queen' era. fukk him and modern repubs, make all the programs take 10 minutes or less to enroll into.
