Also @Hyprr what do you mean by entitlement welfare?

UBI would work as a replacement to current welfare programs

@The Lemon it would still be entitlement welfare though, it just replaces pre existing entitlement welfare.

Government says you are entitled to 1,000 dollars a month as a form of welfare

And that makes it bad because?

I don’t think I said it makes it bad

GG @Hyprr, you just advanced to level 1!

Ah k sounded to me like that was what u were implying sorry

I was just wondering why you would need a constitutional amendment to enact entitlement welfare

Instead of the normal channels

Yeah Idk about that either

Yang hasn't said anything about planning to have a constitutional amendment to get it through as far as I know

Probably not

It be better anyways to pass it as a bill since spending is so hard to cut anyways

nothing here https://www.yang2020.com/policies/the-freedom-dividend/

It’s whatever that other guy said

Tbf I really don't know about how passing new laws in the American system works

I’m just chiming in

House creates spending bills and it moves to be passed from there

Funding the programs of the executive (president)

Like social security etc

Ah k

"should work as a replacement to current welfare policies"

what the fuck

So you will actually LOSE money if you're claiming that

Andrew Yang specifically said that you can either choose the $1000/month

or choose the welfare policies you can keep

Since when do U.S. Laws require a constitutional amendment to be passed/modified, UBI can easily fall into muh "interstate commerce" clause

It's clear Yang wants to pass it as a new Amendment

Making it impossible to dismantle the UBI without a constitutional amendment

@Techpriest you won't lose money because its an opt in

Although that is fair enough about the constitutional amendment, I didn't see that before

I don't see why that makes it a bad policy though

Ridiculous

You do lose money

A VAT tax of 10% won't pay for the $1k/month for everybody

It's a stealth welfare reform

Why not instead of giving 1k a month to dumb ghetto thugs they just give every American a stock in the big 4 and a US bond. Then we can all get a house and mind our own buisness
