the most absurd thing about means testing is that it is conceived framed as a way to prevent excess government spending, even though IT COSTS MORE FUCKING MONEY TO CREATE, STAFF AND MAINTAIN A BOX-TICKING BUREAUCRACY POINTLESSLY DEDICATED TO GATEKEEPING WELFARE :marx-angry:
also the US government quite literally has currency sovereignty and can spend as much as it needs on anything it sets its mind to so long as it maintains hyperinflation through an increased tax burden, so the very idea of the government "spending too much money" is a joke. :marx-joker:
a 2-trillion-with-a-T-dollar war in a country that didn't attack us: nobody asks how we're going to pay for it
house the homeless: everyone asks how we're going to pay for it
god forbid anyone would get something that they weren't entitled to
They absolutely know that money is fake and completely made up, they just would rather spend $10 dollars to make sure nobody gets a single fucking dollar for free

i said "conceived" when I should have said "framed"
cruelty is the point, delenda est, etc
