2020-01-18 18:59:37 UTC  

"I still like Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard for president"

2020-01-18 18:59:46 UTC  

Lol fuck outta here soyboy

2020-01-18 19:02:57 UTC  

Not sure how anyone can support Yang and say they are moderate

UBI is also an expansion of The Great Society that was ultimately a massive failure in achieving its goals.

2020-01-18 19:05:03 UTC  

I think Yang is quite good

2020-01-18 19:05:14 UTC  

I don't understand the support for Gabbard though

2020-01-18 19:05:30 UTC  

I guess she's good on foreign policy partially

2020-01-18 19:05:31 UTC  

Yang is too Socially Liberal

2020-01-18 19:05:50 UTC  

Also, UBI won’t work as well as he claims

2020-01-18 19:05:51 UTC  

Gabbard has confidence and stage presence

2020-01-18 19:05:59 UTC  

That is true

2020-01-18 19:06:10 UTC  

She's very likable

2020-01-18 19:06:21 UTC  

The UBI policy could really help a lot of people

2020-01-18 19:06:23 UTC  

When she btfo’d Kamala, that was Gold

2020-01-18 19:06:29 UTC  

I think it would be good

2020-01-18 19:06:37 UTC  

Yes, but it can’t be sustained

2020-01-18 19:07:08 UTC  

Short term but its long term affects would never be outweighed by its systemic impact

2020-01-18 19:07:54 UTC  

Tbh, it’ll depend on the implementation

2020-01-18 19:07:56 UTC  

It might end up being a net loss but it could help people and it could help stimulate the economy and really help get people out of poverty

2020-01-18 19:07:59 UTC  

As with most policies

2020-01-18 19:08:14 UTC  

12,000 a year won’t get people out of Poverty

2020-01-18 19:08:23 UTC  

Poor people typically are bad with money

2020-01-18 19:08:24 UTC  

It could have the potential to end poverty in the US almost completely

2020-01-18 19:08:24 UTC  

You'd class people out of the labor market until inflation skyrockets initially

2020-01-18 19:09:04 UTC  

It wouldn't cause much inflation

2020-01-18 19:09:45 UTC  

You aren't putting extra money into circulation you in most cases are just giving back people part of what they have already paid in taxes

2020-01-18 19:10:30 UTC  

You have to inflate the $ to get be able to pay for everything and UBI

2020-01-18 19:10:51 UTC  

How are you giving back what ppl pay in taxes when they're not paying taxes to begin with?

2020-01-18 19:10:54 UTC  

You could just cut spending in some places and increase some taxes

2020-01-18 19:11:02 UTC  

lol...

2020-01-18 19:11:07 UTC  

If everyone has money, more people will buy stuff

2020-01-18 19:11:12 UTC  

@TheGhostAgent You aren't, I am talking about people who are paying taxes

2020-01-18 19:11:18 UTC  

If more people buy stuff, there is less Stuff

2020-01-18 19:11:35 UTC  

It could serve as a better form of welfare

2020-01-18 19:11:36 UTC  

That wouldn't happen without an economic collapse because support for social programs is super high

2020-01-18 19:11:49 UTC  

Because Welfare works so well

2020-01-18 19:12:20 UTC  

We've had the war against poverty since the 60s and if anything, poverty has increased, not decreased. Poverty overall was already on a downward decline PRIOR to LBJ's war on poverty via expansion on welfare programs.

2020-01-18 19:12:33 UTC  

It's the welfare progs that's incentivizing more poverty, not alleviating it

2020-01-18 19:12:47 UTC  

Medicare and Medicaid are half of the US budget and UBI wouldn't replace it
