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
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
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"
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
Wat
What do you think the USD is
If not a bond
trump is so hot
