9. More UBI Costs
Wed Jul 9, 2025, 01:50 PM
Jul 2025

Current American GDP is just under $30 Trillion Dollars. $20,000 dollars a year per person would be roughly $7 Trillion, less if folks would work instead. I think that UBI might work. Federal Employees that lost jobs would be eligible for UBI and would find other work. There would still be Federal Jobs and Careers. NIH and the other Crown Jewels of American Civilization need to be defended and restored. We will retake the Congress in 2026. We need to defend the integrity of the election infrastructure. I believe that they did actually rig the last election for Trump. I believe that it is statistically impossible for Trump to have won the swing states that he did. Qualitatively Harris had the momentum and a mobilized electorate. There needs to be an investigation of that election.
