I could see it working if you eliminated EVERY entitlement. Make government simple.

That was true in the Soviet Union. they had only one program, the govt pension. When the USSR ended it did make the process simpler.

Eliminating EVERY entitlement would include SSI. What would $1000/mo provide? Health care. Throw in rice and beans as together they constitute a complete protein. Gets rid of food stamps. Then at the end of EACH year congress gets together and votes on what the NEXT year’s UBI should be. If someone doesn’t pay his child support guess where it will come out of? I read libertarian Charles Murray’s book on the subject. Made sense but the slippery slope of laziness would step in. Who would join the military if they don’t have to?

Sorry sorry - I’m not saying I support government social programs. Just that, as Christians we have d duty to help our fellow man.

Help should come from US and not our secular government who can use “help” to buy or force votes and power bases (as we’ve seen).

A Republic... if you can keep it.
