>Reaction to a long term political commitment will be different - once people trust that the basic income will "always be there." That might take a generation or two. I don't think I'd ever allow myself to be in a position of depending on an income stream that itself depended on the whims of legislators and their ability to budget. But I can see someone who grew up never knowing life without a basic income scheme might make the assumption he didn't have to worry about developing and maintaining a career.
