I agree that UBI is a better solution.
Is UBI on the table, though? Are we really looking at the choice between UBI, Student Loan Forgiveness, or both?
All I am seeing is the dream of either, and the reality of neither.
Right-wing conservatives - informed here by Murdoch press - are obsessed with defending the "neither" option, because anything else is evil Socialism.
- fr11 6y agoI think there's more potential to convince the right wing and the center of UBI than student loan forgiveness. Certainly I think we're making a better society if we are able to do so. The problem with the UBI is that a livable UBI is too expensive for us to afford right now - even at 11k, it's much bigger than the entire US federal discretionary budget. A much smaller UBI that grows with time, though, maybe.
