So cancel all other social spending in order to implement this idea.
See how that goes over with the section8 crowd.

Can I get a lump sum distribution of $1,000,000 cash with no tax?

$1,000 a month is a joke. That's barely grocery money. Will that even pay for health care?

No wonder why the 3rd world refugees want to live here.

Much will be written about the demise and fall of this Republic. Bernie Sanders name and image will be a prominent feature.

Apparently, it will be a "dividend", just like companies pay to their shareholders.  

I guess he doesn't know where that money comes from, either.

these types of proposals tend to raise eyebrows, even with otherwise fiscally (somewhat) liberal folks, but does tend to sell well with kids.

If he wants to buy my vote he also needs to set up a barrel of whiskey outside my polling place like in olden days.

At what point does this sort of thing go from spending policy to outright bribery/buying votes?

"A Democratic presidential hopeful for the 2020 presidency is proposing $1,000 a month for all for all citizens between the ages of 18 and 64 as part of a universal basic income program.

Andrew Yang, an American entrepreneur and the founder of Venture for America, said the spending proposal would cost the U.S. Treasury an estimated $2 trillion a year.

The size of our economy is now $19 trillion a year. Its grown by $4 trillion in the last 10 years alone. We can easily afford $1,000 a month per citizen, he told FOX Business Stuart Varney on Monday."

$2 trillion a yr?
If you took ALL of the profits from the Top 10 US corporations you would only get around $250 billion. Also, probably half or more of them are not tech companies that are eliminating jobs due to automation.

Finland to end its universal basic income program by year's end

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/04/25/finland-to-end-its-universal-basic-income-program-by-years-end.html

"The Finnish government reportedly announced Tuesday that it will end the country’s universal basic income program by year's end -- and appears to be taking on new measures to cut benefits to those who do not actively seek employment.

Finland was considered the first European country to pay a monthly check of $685 to its unemployed between ages 25 and 58. It was considered a pilot program -- serving 2,000 randomly selected jobless people -- that its founders hoped to expand.

“It’s a pity that it will end like this,” Olli Kangas, who oversees the Finnish government agency that focuses on social welfare and helped design the program, told the New York Times.

David Whitley summed up Finland's decision in the Orlando Sentinel.

"Proponents said the program wasn’t comprehensive enough to gauge its merits," Whitley wrote. "Critics say it would have required a 30 percent tax increase on an already over-taxed population to be viable.""

Why don't they just lower everyone's taxes a $1,000 a month?
