I agree completely about the harm from


a bright line cut off.

To get a job that pays $400 a week before FICA, etc, that causes one to lose food stamps, welfare, and need child care isn't worth it. (Moral hazards of welfare otherwise aside). At least short term. Many people who lack employment don't have job skills, confidence, etc.

By continuing some support while these skills are being built could definitely help SOME people have a path to middle class.
