YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On this episode of #SimplePolitics, Professor Wehle sits down with Professor Michele Gilman and they discuss the latest COVID relief package’s massive impact on poverty in the US - cutting child hunger by an approximate 50 percent. But only for one year. Michele breaks down destructive myths about low-income people: that they are lazy (myth), that there is meaningful cash assistance and housing available in the US (myth), that the poverty line really measures what it costs to live these days (myth), that taxpayers bail out poor people (myth - we really subsidize corporations like Walmart so they can keep wages low), and so much more. This is a must-watch for anyone who cares, period.
