Beyond cash: California reparations task force’s report stuffed with goodies
Paying cash to descendants of slaves is just the beginning of the California Reparations Task Force’s ambitious progressive vision.
Embedded in the panel’s 1,100-page report is a veritable leftist to-do list that includes universal health insurance for Black residents, a guaranteed basic income, free college tuition, “forgivable” interest-free loans to small businesses and erasing interest debt on unpaid child support.
That’s not all. The report now before the state Legislature also recommends ending policing of nuisance violations such as public urination, allowing Black LGBTQ youth to receive confidential “mental health care” without parental permission, and adopting “rent caps” in historically red-lined areas.
Deadbeat fathers also would catch a break: The report recommends eliminating the 10% interest on unpaid child support, saying that Black residents carry 18% of child-support debt despite comprising just 7% of the state’s population.
