Proving the point effeciently.
Thank you! -
Notable conservative thinkers are coming around to the idea- e.g., Charles Murray of Middlebury Anti Free Speech Riots fame: http://www.aei.org/publication/a-guaranteed-income-for-every-american/
Right now you have too many in our society choosing idle poverty over working poverty, because they don't see much of a difference in standard of living between the two. UBI is a way to motivate more people into the work force, even for low paying jobs. -
How is the rest of the world going to feel about Americans getting free money as the world continues to shift away from the dollar?

Following up on my rowboat enthusiast friend, GBI is also used in many models to substitute for other social welfare benefits, making certain programs, e.g. public housing, cash systems which can then be governed by market principles.
