it's a shame we don't have any historical evidence to ascertain if this plan will actually work. /s

There simply are no limits to liberal stupidity. You don’t work, you don’t EAT. Handouts do nothing but promote laziness.

Give away printed money to fight poverty. Brilliant!

Fortunately these cities have printing presses in the basement of their city halls.

Can I ask a stupid question?
How are these guaranteed income programs fundamentally different from the war on poverty programs which Johnson and Democrats enacted in the 1960s? Those programs were intended to provide subsidies for poor people. Those programs were supposed to help lift people out of poverty. Did those programs achieve the goals that they set out to achieve?

Doesn’t fight poverty.
It subsidizes and increases poverty.
