Are you saying that every $1 spent on UBI is expected to return $X > 1 and that $X > $Y (where $Y is the return on current social service programs)? If so, I would say [citation needed], but, if proven, that would be a great argument for UBI.
- ddingus 8y agoI don't think UBI delivers much of a return at all, when compared to public works and more direct investment in the people. I do not mean the current social service programs. I mean new, improved ones, along with Public Works people building things of real value that will deliver real returns for very long periods of time. A very large UBI could. But there's no way that's ever going to happen.
