Maine Mariner says (post 13) we should give $60,000 per person to the poor (A Milton Friedman idea.)
ksen is all over this thread touting Friedman and anti-conservative Socialist ideas in support of a guaranteed minimum income. "A Basic Income leads to more liberty and more happiness for society."

Maine Mariner said no such thing. Go read it again.
And has FR gone so far around the bend that talking about ideas touted by Friedman and Hayek are bannable now?
Sir, I said no such thing.
We spend $60,000 on each person in poverty on various programs-most of which trickles down to the low income people. Most of that $60,000 is spent on administrative expenses. Friedman argued that we would save a tremendous amount of money if we eliminated all welfare programs and paid everyone directly. He certainly never advocated paying anyone $60,000 (in today’s dollars) back in 1962. He looked at it as a way to save money. He wanted one program not hundreds to help people in poverty.
To suggest that I don’t belong on FR is absurd. I have been a loyal supporter of this site with time and contributions.
