Pay low-income families more to boost economic growth, says IMF

[Qui Zael]

Exactly, they take what money they have, which is an illusion, concocted to
enslave them, and they see the commercials warning them of their impending
physical doom, so they run to "doctors", who do nothing more than verify
the commercials, and that yes in fact they are infected, and purchase these
pills with what little ya got, they're just placebos, but at least this way
you will be out of cash and hooked on the pills.  And but if those don't do
the trick, oo, looks like we'll have to ratchet it up, get you into
surgery.  Trust me, I'm a professional.  Then after the surgery we'll give
you more pills.
