Romney is desperately trying to appear populist, center of the aisle, and simultaneously in both political parties so he can be the runner up in another presidential election

We should pay the unweds not to breed. Don’t make it more profitable for the irresponsible breeders.

[They want the system to break.

Everything they are doing is attempting to in one or more ways, break the system.]

Imagine Globalists who want to collapse America to implement a New World Order currency system? Make the population dependent upon government money / UBI (Universal Basic Income).

Then, it will be much easier to implement the Mark of the Beast when the Antichrist becomes “the messiah” with a 7-year “peace” deal.

Sounds far-fetched, right?

That may not be exactly how it will happen. But I DO know that this cannot continue indefinitely. Which is a Captain Obvious.

“Doing away with the existing benefits would likely be a hard sell among Democrats.”

Once you institutionalize a benny, you will suffer the pains of hell if you ever tried to remove it.

Re: "No, universal basic income is not a conservative position."

What is the Conservative solution to the problem that - by 2050 - half of the USA work force will not be competitive against labor saving machines and expert software?

This is not a confrontational question - just basic curiosity.

Let Romney pay for it. See how long he’ll support that idea.

he wants to take it from SS.....SS is already on the brink...

I know married nurses, married to other nurses....they make big big bucks.....same as teachers...

when I had my children, nobody gave a damn about helping us....I had to use all my sick leave, vacation,holidays to get 12 weeks off, that was all...

now, in my state they get 6months off, paid....parents got whopping gifts from the Trump tax reform plus got money from the covid...

as young parents, our mortgage interest rates hovered around 11%...

typical of my age group to miss out on the big money for raising children plus low interest rates.....

enough is enough....its good to encourage children, but we're going off the deep end now....

at one time, govt favored the old....my 91yor MIL receiving SS and Medicare all these yrs and she never worked longer than 3months total....what a windfall....

but after her generation, and except for the govt retirees, the rest of us are getting the shaft...

increasing medicare fees, more deductibles, needing more inclusive supplements, no relief on property taxes at all....

like ommpra said, they want all us older whiteys to die off quicker....

350?? That wouldn’t even cover the bill for their iPhone, iPad, and iWatch, and keep them all properly up to date. What a piker. It needs to be at least ten times that. And what about proper sneakers and jeans? Romney clearly doesn’t even come close to understanding what it takes to properly raise a child these days.

It would give people a vested interest in keeping the monetary system under control. The reason we have inflation is be wise neither voters or politicians have any long term interest in controlling it.

Silly, politician make other people pay for their so-called generosity.

Consider: if Ahab had taken Naboth’s vineyard for a vegetable garden to feed the poor of Samaria he would be a hero and role model to so-called progressives ... for that is what they do, take from some by force and under implicit threat to give to others.

Actually, given how so many politicians get rich in office the real Ahab is probably their role model too.

First when has any jobs prediction that far out been correct?

Second future predictions also suffer from not predicting new technologies requiring new types of jobs not thought of in those predictions.

Universal Basic Income isn’t a solution in itself. Just printing money out of nothing for people isn’t going to solve their problems and its not a fiscal solution either. No one signs the praises of fiat money we have right now. When that is implemented that’s the new zero. Prices on everything will adjust upward to compensate. If so many will be not working or hardly so, how will our debt ever be paid back? Many question how our current debt will ve paid back, ever?

If our current system is kicking the can down the road, ubi is putting the can in a mortar and launching it downrange.
