One of the better Democrats. I judge based on the things he's talking about. He's tackling economics, a real issue, and skipped the Orange Man Bad routine or identity politics. I think long term his UBI plan is flawed and would actually increase illegal immigration, the debt, devalue our dollar, etc, but it's a breath of fresh air to hear a Democrat not play the usual card we've been hearing from the rest of them.
if he isn't printing more money to pay for the UBI, which he said he wasn't, then wouldn't it not "devalue" the dollar?
It would make things more expensive due to there being more supply of cash to the poor, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the same thing.
But yeah, I don't think we can pay for it, even with a VAT. $1000 x ~300 million people per month too buku
