I’ve not been a fan of Universal Basix Income because I believe American taxpayers will never go for a program to pay people a living wage just for existing.

The culture of the country resents any idea that your taxes are going to help “underserving” people.

This year has been a revelation mostly in seeing the set of “undeserving” people expand to government workers, veterans and the world’s poorest.

@carnage4life I highly recommend the book The Deficit Myth. Completely flips the idea that tax revenue pays for things. In actuality governments (that issue their own currency) aren’t constrained by tax revenue. National debt is nothing like household debt.
