This scheme would have so many second order effects I think we'd need to have a team of economists work up a paper on it before saying how it would shake out. (or insulting anyone's intelligence for that matter!)

Our GDP would be quite a bit higher if we didn't have so many people who couldn't afford to buy anything but the bare basics. Or do you not understand late capitalist economies? Demand talks.

These are both true statements, calm down a bit and let's get less personal. Obviously we'd be economically stimulated, but any hard effects would need research and debate to insist upon.

I keep saying make it about domestic entitlement elimination, and you've got an economic issue that is sellable to the base. I don't get why people keep ignoring this fact to focus on :cry: our expats :cry:

I'm with you here. If a candidate ran on abolishing social security, unemployment, welfare, and food stamps only to roll them into one glorious minimum income package I'd applaud the subterfuge.
