I enjoy challenging my own beliefs, and do it often. One question I have been stuck on this week, why not create a Universal Basic Income?
If your response is, it will drive up costs of goods and services, or we don't have the money, you haven't thought through the issue. We already pay people A LOT of money between unemployment, health care, welfare, food stamps, etc...We already have built in a version of UBI that is a disjointed mess.
Also, can you tell me why a UBI could work? Why not cancel all handouts like mentioned above, and give EVERYONE a basic income that will cover very basic foods, basic health care, and basic housing?
