Pete Stauber (R-MN) is introducing legislation designed to block states and localities from using federal coronavirus relief funds for basic income programs, which disincentives work, he announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The bill, the Stop Disincentivizing Work Act, specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/stauber.house.gov\/sites\/stauber.house.gov\/files\/The%20Stop%20Disincentivizing%20Work%20Act%20-%20Bill%20Text.pdf\">prohibits<\/a> certain federal funding from being used for \u201ccertain cash assistance programs\u201d \u2014 namely, basic income programs such as the pilot program recently introduced in&nbsp;Minneapolis. Specifically,&nbsp;funding authorized by The Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act,&nbsp;The Families First Coronavirus Response Act,&nbsp;The CARES Act,&nbsp;The Consolidated Appropriations Act, and The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 would be prohibited from being used for such programs, guaranteeing basic income.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI have heard firsthand accounts from countless small businesses owners who are struggling to find workers to fill their job openings. This massive labor shortage was a preventable problem caused by policies that disincentivized work,\u201d Stauber said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFederal dollars cannot be going towards programs that will only exacerbate this problem. It is far past time we fully reopen our economy and get people back to work. I will not sit by as Democrats across the nation continue to pay able-bodied people with our taxpayer dollars not to work,\u201d he added as Minnesota Reps.&nbsp;Jim Hagedorn, Tom Emmer, and Michelle Fischbach joined him in introducing the measure.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The coronavirus relief bill released Monday includes $250 million in investment aid for the Palestinians and for encouraging Israeli-Palestinian dialogue. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xSe4iV8I53\">https:\/\/t.co\/xSe4iV8I53<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1341130856199548929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 21, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The measure follows plans of a basic income pilot program in Minneapolis, which according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/twin-cities\/2022\/01\/24\/minneapolis-guaranteed-basic-income-pilot-applications\">Axios<\/a> \u201creceived more than 8,000 eligible applications for 200 spots in its guaranteed basic income pilot program.\u201d According to the outlet, the families participating in the program will receive $500 every month for two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the pilot is funded with $3 million in American Rescue Plan Act money, participants must have been adversely impacted by COVID-19,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
