My (Unique) idea for a Useful Government Subsidy...

Chung Tran's Avatar
Subsidies abound, from child care, student debt relief, even transit vouchers. But I have never heard this proposed. I think it would boost the economy, and be as useful as the Earned Income Credit for the ''working YOUNG poor''.

A 50% Auto Insurance Subsidy.

Young people struggle to obtain a used car, then have to pay exorbitant insurance rates, that damn near swallow their whole full-time paycheck. God forbid they are paying on a student loan, too, but my proposal is geared to those specifically, who graduate high school, trade school or Community College, then must be self-supporting.

Of course there are qualifiers. You live with your Parents, the subsidy is cut to 25%. Family income must be below 75,000. And you must show proof of employment.

A major problem I have with Auto Insurance, is that mileage is not considered. A Young Adult may drive 4,000-5,000 a year, max, but his damn Insurance costs $1 per mile!

Most of the little (YOUNG!) fuckers I've seen accelerating through intersections to cut a red light probably don't have any insurance and wouldn't even pay 50% even if they have a driver's license.

And the reason: they don't obey traffic laws.

Just make it a felony to drive with no effective driver's license after 60 days of expiration or 60 days without any record of having a license in the state where stopped AND they have an address in that state ............ and a felony to drive with no automobile insurance for more than 30 days....that is valid for the state in which they are driving. Did I mention a felony for the first DWI?

If Texas can make it a felony to pay for pussy .... the above seems simple.

Kudos for recognizing the problem CT, 20 year old Texas men pay something like $5,000 for insurance. That's ridiculous.

I hate the subsidy idea though. Kids should do what I did, buy junkers and just carry liability insurance. Instead they borrow heaps of money for shiny new cars and the bank makes them pay for full coverage.

When the government gets involved they end up pushing up prices. That's why many students end up with crazy student debt. The government makes it where students can borrow ridiculous amounts of money and the colleges take advantage of it by jacking up tuition.

Anyway, I think the subsidy would cause young people, who are just looking at their monthly payments, to take on more debt than they should.

You lump every young person into one category.. Irresponsible. What if I parsed you demographically, and labeled you a January 6 Rioter/Conspiracy Nut, because you fit the profile?

What good does making no insurance a felony do? 25% of Texas Drivers are already uninsured, you will force the number much higher. You say those drivers are all reckless. Guess what? They will still drive uninsured, because they must to survive. Just like Illegals do, who are blocked from drivers licensing. Your plan is to crack down and essentially make being poor a felony, which Republicans do historically.

because of exactly what I said .... tickets, accidents, drunk driving, and credit issues .... Houston is ridiculous ... and anyone who spends any amount of time driving around the Houston metro knows exactly why .... IMO 60-70% of those on the road in the Houston area if they have a driver's license shouldn't have one or be allowed to drive. They can't read ... for one!



and/or they are color blind ...



and don't have any math skills .. along with inability to read..



I won't even mention unsafe lane changing and following too close, because those take learning skills of judging distances and the physics of bringing a 3,000 to 5,000 pound object to a stop.

The people who change lanes rapidly and recklessly, and ride my bumper are typically Redneck White Males, 35-55, driving pick up trucks. Similar to the Jan. 6 Rioter profile, except for skewing about 5 years YOUNGER.
