Even if those jobs averaged $30,000 a year, the price tag would be $12 billion, or $24 billion if extended to two years. $24 billion, presumably $60,000 a year for a two income household, that's not much. I presume for doing nothing. We can eliminate "poverty", and work, all in one swoop.

COLA was one of DP Moynihan's "brilliant" ideas that Nixon played with for a time.

Do that, watch prices go up to the point where $30k is equal to what you can get on welfare today.
If you guarantee everyone free money, all you are really doing (besides redistributing) is reducing the value of the money.

I'll settle for a 10 million dollar lump sum ... after all I AM entitled to it I'd go with the lumb sum too, but if no one is working, what will we buy with it?

I'm for it. For only $275 trillion, we could all have a guaranteed income of a fat mil a year. What could possibly go wrong?

Here we go again. The same old knee-jerk liberalism that's been rejected and debunked time and time again.

If $30m is the minimum wage, or welfare level, clearly wages will go up accordingly.

A better way to approach rebuilding would be to guarantee for a period of two or three years the incomes of those who lost their jobs in the disaster.
Well, what the hell, why stop at two or three years. C'mon, cradle to grave!!!! We don't need no stinkin' jobs!
F'in socialist scumbags.

Anybody can make it in America. Anybody. So true...I made it, but I'll be glad to take more since it's only "the Government's money".

I have a much better idea: why don't we pass a law requiring this author to provide ME with a "guaranteed income" of, say, $200,000 per year. I promise to show more appreciation than most people ever do when on "the dole" and this Richard Moore character can feel he is doing a valuable social service by fully supporting me in the style to which I wish to become accustomed. I'll even give a higher % of my new income to charity than Algore or John Kerry ever did........ If Richard Moore refuses to support me, or stops paying out at any time, we can have him thrown in jail since that's what socialists like to do to anyone who doesn't fall in line and pay for their foolish schemes.

Its because we are already a Third World country in most respects. And who made it that way? Johnson and his raced-based give-away programs? The oversexed Kennedy Brothers with their insane immigration policy? The dirtbag MSM which loathes everything that is moral?

Today, unlike in the 1960s, most Democrats and Republicans are quite content to let the poor starve. . . . Strange, the poor people I know appear to be very well fed. I wonder who these starving poor might be.
