> Can UBI scheme help to overcome Unemployment crisis ? @varbhat

You realize that UBI requires monies, right?

The US Federal government, and most states, are bankrupt. There is no money for this years bills. There was no money for last years bills, and we keep borrowing at exorbitant interest rates.

Our deficit (shortfall for this year) is -more than- 2.7 trillion dollars.

Our debt (shortfall for previous years) is -more than- 4 trillion dollars.

We can't pay unemployment claims because there's no money...

Where the hell is anyone getting monies for UBI?!?!?!
