Nothing, because the whole point of his UBI proposal is to eliminate the need for stimulus.

That's up to congress, not the president.

$1,000 a month is more than the $1200 we've got so far unless you were collecting unemployment.

That said I doubt he'd be able to pass UBI through congress unless the senate flips.

It was slightly more complicated than that, but basically.

The big thing that pissed off leftists is the check was contingent on giving up other benefits, IIRC. So you could take the straight cash, or you could get SNAP benefits, but you couldn't get both. Part of how he was going to pay for it was seeing a reduction in costs from other welfare programs.

Yeah that kind of soured me on him a bit when i learned about that part. That defeats the point of UBI.

Oh. I didnt know that 2nd part. I wonder if this would have affected me cause I live on welfare. I guess it was too good to be true to think that would be no catch

nothing, because the president doesn't have unilateral power to give out stimulus money or set up UBI.

Nothing, we'd have UBI so if something bad happened, we'd still have some income.

People are begging for a one time payment of 1200 bucks but didn't vote for a guy who'd give them that every month. Smh
