    Does the forum hall monitor have any thoughts on the issue?

    I am aware of this, the replacement is key. He was not supportive of a negative income tax as an addition to existing programs.

    $500???? That's $125 per week, which, if someone worked, would be about $3 per hour. Doesn't the left say a person needs $15 an hour to survive? Libs, can you explain the disparity?

    I don't know if this is a fishing thread trying to see who supports what...

    But I support a UBI. I know it can't work but I would like it anyway.

    “It’s not just money that a job provides,” Obama said. “It provides dignity and structure and a sense of place and a sense of purpose. So we’re gonna have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income.”

    (as if we can expect you to condemn him now that you know he's a commie)

    Finally! Sure you doctored the quote, but what did I expect?

    "So we're going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level."

    Yah I don’t personally think a universal income is a good idea or sustainable.

    So you chose a shitty source that doctored the quote. Either way you posted a quote that added a period in the middle of his sentence.

    Use better sources so you don’t look like you’re dishonest. Hardly my fault you don’t know who to trust

    solving for a simple poverty of Capital under our form of Capitalism, is what it is about.

    the right wing has no solutions, nothing but repeal, and fake news.
