In a world with growing uncertainty we see new technologies destroying job markets and the solution (in my opinion) is Universal Basic Income (UBI). The American government and its cradle to grave "social securities" have failed us and by simply dismantling the redundant programs like WIC, SNAP, SSI, etc. we could pay a monthly stipend to American citizens directly, stimulating the global economy. I'm not an advocate of handing money away "willy nilly" but the game has changed and if done properly, this could be the next step for the U.S.
I do believe that recipients should still be required to do something for the stipend such as ongoing continued education, military service and social work, but in general I believe this is one of the best solutions for the future of the U.S.
What do you think?
