“He says everyone from MLK to Milton Friedman to Richard Nixon were for it.”
Just like Jessica Tarlov on Faux...I mean Fox News this AM said the majority of Americans want illegal aliens to be able to stay in America. I guess your brain doesn’t survive too well if your head is stuck some place where there is no Oxygen.
If I remember “Milton Friedman” comments on this correctly. It was to replace all forms of federally funded welfare including the cost of maintaining the legions of bureaucrats & social workers who administer it. It would be a unit of the treasury that mails out the check. What the recipient does with it is his/her business. Friedman claimed it would be cheaper & less socially harmful.
