How did afford the technology you are using to post this thread?a UBI would be cheaper and more effective than what we do now, economically. If you take the total amount we spend on anti-poverty programs and divide by the number of poor people, there should be no poor people!
Poor people aren’t lazy, they’re trapped in the current system. A UBI is not contingent on staying poor, so it would both lift people out of poverty and flatten out the benefits cliff. Of course, this means that the new UBI would be instead of existing programs, rather than a supplement, and not everyone agrees with that.
Finally, there is crude "realpolitik." Plenty of very wealthy people already live in the US, and the new economy is likely to create inequality on steroids. In a democracy, the poor and middle class have many tools to “negotiate” redistribution at gunpoint.

Funny stuff, but I agree numbers are manipulated. Obama counted temporary census workers as fully employed. Stop whining about people trying to improve their personal situation.the unemployment rate is a scam. if a college graduate is employed as a barista, that's not a job, unless you're lying to yourself
look at it this way: if you're at a party and you're not enjoying yourself at the party, are you really there?
Just good jobs going unfilled because we must save the rich... So we can't afford cheap education and Training....Jobs are disappearing? Dang, who knew?

my dad was a tough guy.Just return to what worked in the past (extract the good while leaving the bad behind), and quit living in this bubble of doom being created today. Are we just stupid today or what ?? Why are we stupid today ?? Who is making or forcing us to be stupid today ?? Is it globalism, greed, cultural decay, tribal warfare, diversity gone wrong, political correctness gone wrong, lifestyles gone wrong or what ???????a UBI would be cheaper and more effective than what we do now, economically.

The trouble with that logic is that today, quite literally, our work is being replaced by machines at an enormous pace.
Obviously, in the past you speak of, that was not the case at all.
