Phase out all welfare, and give every low income person a 3200/month basic income.
Why in the world would you give "low income" people $38,400 a year?
What defines low income?
What's to stop these low income people from quitting any productive activities and just live off of the $38,400 I am giving them?
I am not "low income" but I could sure as frick use an extra 38 grand a year.

the great thing about sarcasm is the kernel of truth. I remember your arguments NAVYtiger for the acceptance of the gays into the military.

More importantly, how does that phase out welfare? That's a first-world salary for doing nothing.

Bengal, for the last time, I'm not coming over to your team. I support gay rights. That doesn't mean I'm interested in your man-love. You have to let it go, homie. Toddy isn't this pushy.

Oh, I see that you're messing with us now.

But honestly, it really doesn't affect us hardly at all. Whether it was Clinton, Bush, or Obama in the White House, my life is pretty much the same as it has always been.
But how would your life have been different? I understand why you say this, but you need to see the bigger picture of how your life would be different at different life phases. Because of the fiscal, economic, and regulatory policies of Bush and Obama, college graduates owe a shitload of money, have greater difficulty getting a job / starting a career, and buying a home. It starts with the leadership at the top. The fish rots from the head.

Seriously, do you notice anything different over the past 15 years at work
Uhhh yeah, it's a shitload harder to actually get a good job and advance careerwise than it was 15 years ago.

shopping with the wife
Wasn't married 15 years ago, but if I was I would be able to save more of my expendable income. It would allow me to do more recreational things. I go fishing 1/4 of the amount that I used to because of high gas prices and lack of financial security. I know the president doesn't directly affect the price of gas, but government taxes the shite out of it and makes it more difficult to drill domestically. It's not a stretch to think that gas would be lower if we had better and less restrictive policies.

taking your kids to the baseball game?
Price of taking a kid to a New York Rangers hockey game in 1999: $90 (two tickets, beer, apple juice, and popcorn).
Price of taking a kid to a New York Rangers game in 2013: $200 (two tickets, beer, apple juice, and popcorn).
My expendable income after base living expenses has not doubled in 15 years.

Your life today would be different if Gore had gotten more votes in 2000. There would be a republican in his second term. Energy prices would be way higher. We may not have invaded Iraq.

using the same joke just used by me isnt very witty or quick. Please try better next time.Posted on 7/9/14 at 2:32 pm to Navytiger74
quote:3200/month is probably a bit high for a lot of places. The law would have to factor in cost of living. out here in SoCal, 3200/month is extremely difficult to live on. In rural Alabama, you can live like a king on that.

I would outlaw saying POTUS and make it the traditional President of the United Sates. Don't be lazy and respectful.

In addition to the absolute cost of funding this stipend, a guaranteed income approaching $40,000 would send prices on most basic goods through the roof.
But yeah, I couldn't live off that in DC either.

My first program would be to try to get more companies to put Americans to work rather than outsourcing to other countries. Try to get industry increased and improved. We should be able to make more things (with minimal cost increases)
Why according to you everything is peachy
