I know what you are saying here but from a conservative point of view all of these programs can get fuct and people can go get a fucking job and figure their shit out.WilburHooksHands said:
Right, but thats exactly the point. The idea is that UBI eventually replaces other welfare programs as people are incentivized to take the $1000, which has no bureaucracy or red tape behind it unlike other welfare programs such as food stamps. Food stamps are a great example because they have weird restrictions and actually make it harder in many cases for low income people to buy actual healthy food. UBI is a far more flexible and empowering replacement. From a conservative point of view I would think this makes more sense and Im surprised you seem to be arguing for other welfare programs.HoustonHusky said:
He literally said in his Joe Rogan interview that current govt benefits (ie food stamps, etc) get deducted from the $1,000/month. Not sure how else to say it.WilburHooksHands said:Nobody wants to explain how the poor are getting stolen from when they are getting 12k per adult back?
The problem for me is we are now at the point where the only questions being asked are HOW MUCH free shit the government should give you for breathing, not whether or not there should even be FREE SHIT.

Pretty much this. Tulsi is better.dnc said:
For one thing I think Yang has approached this as a math problem not an issue of supposed "rights" or idealism. He has run the numbers and actually sees this helping the nation economically, not providing for one specific oppressed demographic or "economic justice". I'm not 100% convinced he's right but I'm much more inclined to try his concept because I am more optimistic it works mathematically and I think putting an end to (or at least a massive dent in) all the waste and corruption in the entitlements bureaucracies is a huge win.TheKobeStopper said:
Along the same lines I see him as non partisan and someone who would seek to unite not divide. He's not running on not being Trump, he's running on actual substance.
And I like Tulsi even better so its not just about him.
Right now Tulsi and Yang are the two democrats I'd consider voting for. Put them together and I'd definitely vote for them in either order.
Hence
"And I like Tulsi even better so its not just about him."
