Moynihan Says Guaranteed Income Label Poisoned Plan
The National Chamber of Commerce questioned the Family Assistance Plan early in 1969, calling it a guaranteed income with weak research and limited work incentives. Moynihan later says labeling it guaranteed income was historically toxic, while the chamber’s opposition may have helped kill the plan. Washington reports note OEO dismantling efforts by Howard Phillips include hiring 300 new staff at a cost of about $1 million, with critics alleging wasteful spending and political cronyism.
