lol 65+ already getting free money
I hope Trump kills Medicare and social security entirely.
Without oversight of corporations’ pricing this would never work in the US.
What’s that? My monthly expenditures went up by $1000 the second this was passed?!
Nah, they’d all try to creep their prices up, but they already do that constantly. Public anger doesn’t keep them in check, competition does. Now I’m sure inflation would become a problem in the same way stimulus checks cause inflation, but that just requires increased taxes to balance – and that’s the real problem with UBI, congress would have to automate taxation to some extent and actually tax people.
If we’re gonna do entitlements, UBI is the way to do them. None of this transferring wealth from one generation to another with social security that won’t exist in twenty years. No need to worry about pensions or retirement. No need to worry about food stamps getting cut off by the next politician. Just straight wealth redistribution.
This is a graph of working people who are struggling.
