Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) signaled that she is open to a universal basic income an idea that has been championed by fellow presidential contender Andrew Yang (D).
Warren expressed her willingness to consider a UBI, which quite literally amounts to the government handing individuals and families a basic income per month regardless of employment or income status, in a Washington Post survey that asked, Should the federal government pay a universal basic income to every American adult?

They want to create a permanent voting underclass.
LBJ’s war on poverty did that, close to 6 decades ago.
Look at any major blue city in America to validate my observation.

She'll consider it -- but first it'll have to be revenue-neutral, and also phased in after the first three years of her term, and subsequent to making sure all the hundred million or so illegals she plans to bring into the US have been set up with health care, welfare, 'free' housing, food EFT cards, schools, vehicles, college educations, and annual vacations to Disneyworld. Thanks ChicagoConservative27.

She will probably give everyone a big check for $50,000 or something every year. Of course, everyone will have to pay an extra $60,000 a year in taxes to pay for it.Meh don't sweat the small idiosyncrasies, just vote before you read though, worked for the ACA tax plan /s

I was thinking the same thing. Might as well throw this in! :)
To: Grampa Dave
The way I see it, President Trump is trying to empower the people who have been out of the work force. Millions have been able to get off welfare & food stamps. With opportunity zones, job training, factory opening & expansions the 1st steps up the ladder become possible for people who have been disenfranchised.
Couple that with welfare tied to performing work and we have the classic carrot & stick. You are 100% right about how things have been. However POTUS is trying to lift people up and get them involved in the workforce so they can achieve success and control their destiny.
The Left has a foot on their backs and is pressing them into the mud.
Blexit anyone?

Has anyone come up with a total cost for all of Lieawatha’s plans?
Has it passed using trillions into quadrillion figures?

Count me in. The agencies need to be scattered across the length & breadth of the country. Those who won’t move get fired and we don’t need to replace any that are not essential.

She’s trying to buy the black inner city vote. I seriouly doubt she’s going to give middle class Americans earning $100,000 a year a ‘basic’ income in addition to what they’re making.
This is nothing more than a payoff for the democrat base.

...the government handing individuals and families...And just WHERE will 'government' get this money to give away?
From individuals and families.
Less a small handling fee; of course.

NO!!!
We'll tax BUSINESSES!!
It'll only raise the price of their products by; lessee... 17.9%.
Business owners: Well boys; the cost of production has gone up 17.9%; so we'll have to raise our prices by 19.7% to cover the expense.
...later in the news...
Inflation up 21%!!
Individuals and families hit hardest!
