Get rid of Medicaid, housing and food stamps and then see what happens with this. I don't like it at all.

It would make more sense to provide free vasectomies and tubal ligations. Prevent stupid, lazy, or ignorant people from having children they will never be able to feed, clothe, or house.

This is how the Roman Empire went bankrupt too - endless wars, bread and circuses for the urban population, and political corruption and infighting among the empire’s highest elites

Its a horrible idea.

Why cant everyone have it? Why so selfish?

These people propose this kind of emotional feminist crap to destroy society faster.

The idea is stupid, it has been tried before and it never works.

Cripes, they don't even make decent commies - they forgot the first part!

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs

People receive a set amount of money periodically with no strings attached...this gives recipients, often in the most marginalized groups, freedom to spend it in ways that are most beneficial for their families.

No strings? Who decides what is beneficial for a family?

Interestingly, Nixon was near to implementing a GIA, but backed off at the last minute.

Dane-Geld
by Rudyard Kipling

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say:—
“We invaded you last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a reach and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:—
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the
time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:—

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”

Not that it matters for free money, but in many cases what is considered poverty here in America would be seen as upper middle class in many parts of the world.

Dependency on the Government means votes for Democrats.

The people who actually work-for-a-living will just raise their prices accordingly.

We’ve had universal basic income for 60 years. Just crank out a few kids out of wedlock and you’re set for life.

Milton Freidman proposed a negative income tax, but even he opposed this because the welfare state will never get abolished.

It is nothing but a gigantic subsidy for drug cartels and liquor stores disguised as aid to the poor. The government might even recoup some of it when everyone goes out to buy lottery tickets.

Martin Luther King Jr. was always a commie and has no reason for the worship he receives.
