On Monday, a bill that would bring universal basic income (UBI) to all Californians was introduced to the Assembly.

Assembly Bill 65, authored by Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell), would specifically create the California Universal Basic Income Program that, with taxpayer funding, would give an equal income to all Californians.

Guaranteed free income to all Californians. This includes the homeless junkies on the street and illegal aliens. Couple this with other bills guarantying free medical care for all and housing for all and California is going to become paradise on Earth. What could go wrong?

[Safrguns]

Isn’t CA already under a huge amount of debt???

Who is going to pay for this???

All of the businesses leaving the state?

I’m moving to California and finding myself a bench near the beach. LOL

It’s ok, once Biden/Ho/Xi take office, our tax dollars will pay for this.

"Who is going to pay for this???"

People in other states, if the Democrats succeed in the 2020 theft.

“Who is going to pay for this???”]

With Biden and Pelosi in power. The rest of the United States.

I would like the People’s Republic of California to pass this so that it can be shown, once and for all, and in a state for which I do not care, just how bad an idea this is.

UBI = Communism.

We need to get a bunch of Freepers to do this!! Wonder how long we would have to stay to get it??

***with taxpayer funding, would give an equal income to all Californians.***

So, they will steal from those who work and give it to those who don’t.

So why work at all?

They should just make it official - schedule a ballot proposition asking voters if they want a $1,200/month check forever in return for allowing the Chinese government to take over California.

I suspect it would pass with 80% of the vote.

That old joke about “gathering flies” comes to mind.. :)

Soaking everyone to pay for everyone. This is how the Soviet Union and East Bloc’s system collapsed under its own weight and contradictions.

Maybe California is going to quit the US Dollar and move to a Yuan based economy. Venezuelan Bolívar? Zimbabwean Dollar?

[Skywise]

California goes full communist

“I suspect it would pass with 80% of the vote.”

I agree. I’d bet money on it.

One billion immigrants arrive for a free ride, and ask “What’s for lunch?

[Mopp4]

UWI = Universal Welfare Income

The real description

What will the smart people do?

[sheana]

I’m okay with this....as long as I receive an amount that equals Newsom’s salary. Anything less is a no go. ;)
