It's a shame you can't read. No wonder why you want free money

What's to read? Cut benefits to all the poor and old people (which is what he actually proposes...replacing every single govt assistance program including Medicare, SS, Medicaid, Disability, Earned Income Tax credit, Foodstamps, etc with $10k a year in money and $3k a year for medical) sounds great in theory, but you are FS if you think that will ever happen. And if you are trying to sell what he said as anything different you are just lying your ass off.YellowSnow said:Jesus, some of you guys are just like a bunch of Middlebury students. Why don't you take some free time and actually read the Charles Murray paper posted earlier on universal basic income before trotting out the same tired cliches. Murray's conservative and libertarian chops are fucking legit people. It's all theoretical obviously at this point but he lays down some pretty solid arguments.
And as he says if you don't do that then all of the critics of a "basic income" will probably be underestimating how bad implementing it would be.
But carry on now with your pipe dreams... -
Calm down Cletus. The best thing about libertarians is the creativity of their ideas. In an era where our last presidential election was trump-Clinton, any new ideas are welcome. Theoretically appealing but practically implausible? Yeah, probably. At least someone is trying to think of better solutions.HoustonHusky said:

I think the consolidation of aid programs is very possible with some new thinking. Could cost less

The idea has been around since the 60's. And it tanks when it's realized that we're theorizing about the impossible: That poor people can be smart and good with money. Kind of a self-explanatory oxymoron.
