My family lived in govt subsidy program for like a decade before we got out of poverty as my brother and I grew up and got a college degree (with the help of financial aid) and started working. Those programs helped my family through the time when my parents couldn’t make end needs except surviving until their kids can start making money. We never get cash like this program, but it was helpful with foodstamp and housing and financial aid… those are critical. Free college really made a huge difference for us to find a high paying job and get out of poverty.
Nope. Most of the people are druggies. I am all for supporting and helping people who want to work, become drug free, and actually want to contribute to society. Let's help them and not help the bums. No welfare or money for people who won't go into a drug rehab center.
Then don't complain about the inflation that follows... Value and wealth exist flatly until new value is created... Just printing dollars doesn't create value and will make businesses raise their prices in order to be able to compete... Look at all the banks receiveing free money from the gov until 2008 and how well they managed it...
If we as a society choose to let criminals out of prison it’s a fact that they’re less likely to reoffend if they have a way to support themselves and survive.
@@truthseeker4298 not if they have another option. Most people go to crime because they have no other choice.

Can we please start helping individuals as well? Not just people with kids, thank you. If there were more tax breaks for this population I believe we wouldn't be here to begin with.
The good thing about UBI is that everyone gets it so we dont have to waste money on paying government management fees which usually arnt very cost efficient.
@@johnmycroft3065 You do realize its only about 10 - 20 percent of employees who do most of the work right? This 10 - 20 percent will always work as long as their is incentive outside of UBI. This payment only helps to redistribute the wealth so 1 percent of population stops holding 99 percent of the wealth.
If everyone gets it, then you might as well not get it at all. That will increase demand for everything, driving prices even higher. You think rent is bad now, wait until everyone is betting on the same house. The one with the most money still wins and every house around them will price match. You will still be priced out of the market. Commodities, food and other consumables will follow suit.
@@scottharveth While there are legitimate concerns about inflation and market dynamics, it's not accurate to assume a simple, linear relationship between UBI and price increases.

Works because the goods these people in “poverty” are buying is essential goods. This keeps that money within that local economy and assists with local volume on paper.✊🏾⚡️💯
Every household in New York needs this. A state where individuals and families cannot even afford its cost of living even if they rub two pennies together.
The 1/3 of people in poverty (homeless) have drug addictions. Another 7% have gambling addiction. Do we really think these folks will use free money to buy food, shelter, and transportation? Welfare has been around for a long time and it's proven to require a lot of oversight and management to have a substantial beneficial effect.
I read that AZ is trying to outlaw these payments in AZ because the income is "unearned". Really. A billionaire can put money in a hedge fund and make another billion by not doing anything for it, but that's OK? Our economy is fixed to benefit the wealthy; these payments are necessary.
Never occurs to anyone that the government employees getting annual raises and lifelong income for short work careers are the issue with affordable anything.
It's not helping the people who truly need it in the city of Baltimore MD. In Baltimore City the program is only benefits 200 mothers from the ages of 18 to 24 years old. They are receiving a $1000 a month for 2 years
"We don't ask stockbrokers how they spend their money" Because it's their money. These people are spending OUR money. So it's legitimate to ask how it's being spent. And how many businesses were hurt by the crimes of these 109 people? How many law abiding workers left the community? How much money was spent on catching and incarcerating them, on insurance claims, medical bills? How much time at work was lost due to injury? It's far far cheaper to prevent crime than to give criminals free money. It's ridiculous. "Some people may use it for ill means, but..." *shrug* Who cares, right? Not his problem. He's just going to push this cause it seems right to him despite problems so self evident he can't help to bring them up. And then just shrugs. Amazing.
But who pays for it? People say have corporations pay. TOTAL revenues of ALL US corporations is roughly $1.8 trillion. If you give every American over the age of 18 $1000 per month, it would cost $3.1 trillion. Where is the shortage of $1.3 trillion coming from?
I hope you have SSDI benefits already if not you need to get them and don't give up well sometimes deny you two or three times before they give them to you. And if you don't have any income call a social security lawyers to help you, GOOD LUCK 🙏
I genyinely need at least $2,000/Month UBI to hand build my own own tiny home on low tax land and get away from all the toxicity of the evil capitalist cities!
This about destroying the middle class and bringing up the bottom class I started with nothing and beat my body down to get what I have and it is not right to take more from me to give to someone that is not willing to do what I did to get were I'm at
"Should do more for citizen of US.". I am a citizen have worked all my adult life." Could use some financial help. A good idea to help where help is needed. Address the waste of money the government gives everyone else. Including other countries, and citizens! 🥺😢😞🤔🤔🤔✔️✔️✔️ NC. ❤🙏♥️👍
This program is bad news unless they apply some significant cut backs to other programs. The money has to come from somewhere and will either be taxed at a higher rate to get the top up income or they will print and add to the deficit and increase inflation once again.
Why is it the people who don’t follow the law always get benefits?! I’ve never had even a speeding ticket, went to college as a single mother, can barely get a job that pays enough to survive and haven’t even been able to go to the dentist for years cause I can’t afford anything. This makes me mad.
Should have voted Andrew Yang last election. He wanted to give this to every American starting at age 18. Right now, they're using this to prove that UBI keeps former criminals out of crime after serving their time. You WANT this to succeed so you can eventually receive UBI.
Because they been incompetent and don't know the constitution if they did they would know the supreme law of land. All debts shall be paid in gold and silver' article 1 section 10 of the United States Constitution 😊
Durham eh? Thats basically the ghetto out of all the region. But if this is what lifts half the city out of poverty, then im all for it. Rent is the elephant in the room right now. If that can get covered by UBI, this country would be well on its way to success.
Instead of guaranteed income why not have it that if the government balances the budget then they pay out a dividends to the citizens, that way it would make the government balance the budget or be voted out next election
Also on the same horizon triple the rent electric and water bills making universal income completely useless just like every minimum wage increase. Oh and food too $1000 for 1 cart awesome really looking forward to that . This is just away to get people to beg not get ahead.
I like the idea of UBS or UBD. Universal basic stock distribution or dividend. It seems less like you are a peasant looking for a handout or crumb then an owner who expects a return and has a vote in the company. If these super AGI tech companies run everything then what you would be distributing is ownership. I understand this may be an argument of semantics and the UBS/D would need to have significant value or it would be a token like a small or low UBI.
One big concern is that rich folks like to hide the money overseas and avoid taxes. Poor folks can't afford to pay income taxes, and a lot of what they earn will just get reported on the tax return form but it is the government that will owe them money, not the reverse. So, it will be the middle class who will have to take tax money out of their own paychecks for the government to spend on "universal basic income" as part of an equalizing wealth distribution. Here's the problem: the people who earn more typically will have more stressful or harder or less desirable jobs, thus deserving of higher payouts, than the people who earn less; and they will get taxed out more by the government who would give them a UBI that is actually less than their own taxed-out income. I think it will be those folks who will lose the most.
How pays for it someone who worked harder and beat thier body down to make more money to be taxed higher to give someone money for doing nothing get the he'll outa here
I could understand if it's targeted specifically to certain groups. However, if it becomes available to everyone , then what's gonna prevent people from quitting their jobs and just living off UBI? 🤔
🤔 Why is RUclips/CBS News kept deleting my comment suggesting along with this social program, also get tougher on crimes? Like capital punishment in all states and forced sterilization of human traffickers, rapi$ts, etc.
"People who are financially solvent make better members of the community" But you're not making them financially solvent. You're not solvent from getting money for nothing. Ex-cons path to solvency should be to contribute to the community through work, not take more from the community in free money. It would be great if money fell out of the sky and I could spend it with no consequences, but that's not the real world. You have to give value to get value. Anything else is theft.
Yea , since 2021 nothing came Pennsylvania's way . They all sit there and talk about UBI but oversee pa always , our city and the counties surrounding Philly are going down hill , they do the research at upenn but can't start a program for the people here . What a load a crap . Selective and targeted universal basic income. Not Helping anyone here . Keep helping the silver city & ur favorite states.
i got a buddy back in SoCal who managed to get on some UBI pilot program. he and his partner don't actually need the money. they were just curious to see if they'd get accepted, and they did. so they sorta just use their new backup fund to enjoy a night out every so often. not sure what kind of overall return on investment that sort of situation gives for the program, but the whole thing gave me a good chuckle.
UBI should be for everyone regardless if they are employed or not, that's the whole point of this
I support UBI. This would help deplete poverty! Going towards a better society for all.
Socialism works untill untill you run out of other people's money!

'forced sterilization' is probably the step too far.
Because they don't like common sense.
Shout out to Michael explaining to that hater it’s not about “it’s my money”
"People who are financially solvent make better members of the community"
But you're not making them financially solvent. You're not solvent from getting money for nothing. Ex-cons path to solvency should be to contribute to the community through work, not take more from the community in free money.
It would be great if money fell out of the sky and I could spend it with no consequences, but that's not the real world. You have to give value to get value. Anything else is theft.
Who wants more should create more.
i need a ubi to be able to create more.
businesses are just going to raise prices since people are making x amount guaranteed. Has no one taken basic economics?
They are going to price gouge either way....might as well help the people
How can I get help
Seems the best way for ex-felons to make their lives stable is to get a job and not commit any crimes?
Yea , since 2021 nothing came Pennsylvania's way . They all sit there and talk about UBI but oversee pa always , our city and the counties surrounding Philly are going down hill , they do the research at upenn but can't start a program for the people here . What a load a crap . Selective and targeted universal basic income. Not Helping anyone here . Keep helping the silver city & ur favorite states.
isn't that called welfare.
i got a buddy back in SoCal who managed to get on some UBI pilot program. he and his partner don't actually need the money. they were just curious to see if they'd get accepted, and they did. so they sorta just use their new backup fund to enjoy a night out every so often. not sure what kind of overall return on investment that sort of situation gives for the program, but the whole thing gave me a good chuckle.
ThTs nice but were i live they never aproved one ..😢
Reward formally incarcerated people. F that. Give me back that $ on my taxes.
