the main point of benefit policies is that we don’t do this kind of homework on them, max.

RT @MaxGhenis
The general lesson this finding underscores for me is that benefit policy deserves the same rigor as tax policy. Tax analysis routinely includes distributional tables with the share of households benefiting by decile that would have revealed this earlier. https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2021/12/09/cbo-child-care-and-pre-k-est…

i can see why children believe this.
it’s because of two things:
1. their mental reality has been heavily controlled and propagandised with facts like this
2. (important!) their material reality has also been controlled to match this too

This seems kind of unbelievable. I just find it hard to imagine people believing this. Have any other sociologists come across this?
