Fetterman floats work requirements for bailed-out bank executives

[Orrex]

11. Years ago, when I applied for public assistance...

I was amazed at how complicated and demanding the process was, all to get $450 monthly for a family of four. The paperwork was confusing, requiring an inordinate amount of documentation with cross-referencing and repeated entry of the same data in multiple fields, and any irregularity or inconsistency could delay or derail the process, or potentially make me guilt of fraud.

And I’m a college graduate with years of experience in a business environment. What if I were a young single mother of three with a GED? How many people are underserved or denied simply because the application is deliberately arcane? And be ready to repeat the process annually, and god help you if your info doesn’t match from one year to the next.

But if I were a billionaire asking for millions, congress would trip over itself in its eagerness to pay me, no strings attached.
