UBI is also an expansion of The Great Society that was ultimately a massive failure in achieving its goals.
I think Yang is quite good
I don't understand the support for Gabbard though
I guess she's good on foreign policy partially
Yang is too Socially Liberal
Also, UBI won’t work as well as he claims
Gabbard has confidence and stage presence
That is true
She's very likable
The UBI policy could really help a lot of people
When she btfo’d Kamala, that was Gold
I think it would be good
Yes, but it can’t be sustained
Short term but its long term affects would never be outweighed by its systemic impact
Tbh, it’ll depend on the implementation
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
As with most policies
12,000 a year won’t get people out of Poverty
Poor people typically are bad with money
It could have the potential to end poverty in the US almost completely
You'd class people out of the labor market until inflation skyrockets initially
It wouldn't cause much inflation
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
You have to inflate the $ to get be able to pay for everything and UBI
How are you giving back what ppl pay in taxes when they're not paying taxes to begin with?
You could just cut spending in some places and increase some taxes
lol...
If everyone has money, more people will buy stuff
@TheGhostAgent You aren't, I am talking about people who are paying taxes
If more people buy stuff, there is less Stuff
It could serve as a better form of welfare
That wouldn't happen without an economic collapse because support for social programs is super high
Because Welfare works so well
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.
It's the welfare progs that's incentivizing more poverty, not alleviating it
Medicare and Medicaid are half of the US budget and UBI wouldn't replace it
