I don’t know if it’s unique to the US, but there’s a perception that “progress” is a farce that never helps as much as politicians claim. I personally think it’s because we’ve got such a long history of means-testing welfare to such a ridiculous extent, like we kick people off disability if they have more than $2k in the bank, that “free bus for everybody” just sounds like a scam, too good to be true.
Fr, can’t have anything nice without a “bipartisan compromise” to means test 80% of people out of it. Just give the people access to a decent dignified living. We can afford it.
