“My father & grandfather served in segregated units during the World Wars. They fought for #democracy abroad while being denied it at home. When my grandfather returned to Mississippi from WWI, he was forced to flee the state by #WhiteSupremacists who saw his service in France — as a #Black man in an unsegregated society — as a threat. My father returned from WWII only to be treated like a #SecondClassCitizen, denied certain #veterans #benefits & rights under #JimCrow.

"No court order is needed for such en masse surveillance. The affected individuals won’t be told. There is no right of appeal. The information that DWP will demand has not yet been explained. The government has promised a code of practice but that has not yet been published i.e. the law has been passed by the Commons without knowing the full details."

"Banks will be required to develop algorithms to search and report information demanded by DWP. The cost of developing algorithms is to be borne by banks and will ultimately be passed to bank customers. Inevitably, banks are not keen on the new duties, especially as it makes them a de facto arm of the repressive state and conflicts with their duty of confidentiality."

"PAFER assumes that recipients of benefits have criminal tendencies and must therefore be denied financial privacy. It empowers the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to compel banks and financial institutions to scrutinise accounts of benefit claimants and provide specified information to help it verify eligibility of claimants of benefits."

The bill also would #penalize #states that expand #Medicaid in the future.

Johnson also expanded a #deduction break for #state & #local #tax payments, a priority for a handful of centrist #Republicans who represent high-tax states like New York & California.

#Democrats blasted the bill as disproportionately benefiting the #wealthy while cutting #benefits for working Americans. CBO found it would reduce #income for the #poorest 10% of US households & boost income for the top 10%.

Judge Illston listed services that could disappear if the offices that administer them were wiped out, including #DisasterRelief funds for #farmers after a #flood, in-person appointments for #SocialSecurity recipients to discuss their #benefits, #workplace #safety inspections in #mines & #grants that support #kindergarten programs.

It now looks like the cuts in PIP payments being balanced with a rise in UC payments is essentially a transfer of income/benefits from the disabled to the able.... if so, this benefit reorganisation is really pretty grim.

Its good that Universal Credit is to rise, but if that is essentially to be funded by removing benefits from 700,000 disabled people then what we are seeing is immoral.

This is just zero-sum politics of the worst kind!
