Right now the government writes blank checks to healthcare and education, so the execs can decide their own price with absolutely no market pressure. UBI brings market forces back to those industries, so even though the same amount of money is potentially flowing around, they have to actually compete for it. SNAP is a good example of something that would NOT need to be replaced by UBI, since we don't have a problem where bananas are $99 each because of food stamp abuse (despite what some people think). SNAP is also very market-based and shares a lot of the same effects as a UBI. Hannyabal posted... my issue with yangs UBI proposal is that hes funding it via VAT instead of a wealth or capital gains tax.I mean fundamentally the dude is trying to bring a hyper libertarian policy into the Democrats' (and more importantly, the centrists') overton window, and it's actually working, which is pretty crazy. This seems like one of the more centrist-appealing things, which is fine. Bernie could easily say "ok we'll do UBI but with a WEALTH TAX!!!" which would be a huge victory for Yang. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 |

| foolm0r0n 01/06/20 6:04:50 PM #7 | Hannyabal posted... yes, but hes wrong to suggest that its a substitution for Medicare for all, increased minimum wage, free college, etc. HeroDelTiempo17 posted... this is it, though I'd also add housing to this list to things that should be addressed before/alongside UBI 100% of UBIs require replacing other forms of welfare. In other words, the $3.6 tril that is used to fund UBI could always be used to fund $3.6 tril of other welfare. Eliminating existing programs is just a shortcut to the same thing. What you're saying is that you would never support UBI at any real point in time, because you don't think it's better than politician-defined welfare. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 |
