Universal income

When Andrew Yang ran for president he proposed what he called universal basic income suggesting that each American adult receive a $1,000 per month. While that was too much for most people to consider a recent proposal by some democrats moves in that direction. 10 democratic senators sent a letter to Biden suggesting that part of the Covid relief fund be used to send monthly checks of $1,000 to low income people. This will continue as long as the pandemic last. Keep in mind that after people receive a benefit for a certain period of time it becomes difficult to stop that benefit. Maybe this is the first step to Yang's universal income.
