Universal Basic Income II [View all]

I know that UBI is a Tech Bro kind of idea, but it might work as a Democratic Policy. It would vastly simplify the Federal Bureaucracy. All Federal Workers that lose their jobs in the Process would be eligible for UBI and could go off of UBI if they were willing and able. The Federal Government could be saved. We need to defend and restore the NIH and other Crown Jewels of American Civilization. We could also get a lot of former Republican voters with such a policy when we regain control of the House in 2026. Just an idea.
