We can afford the current social safety net we have pretty easily.
We spend around 2.3T to entitlement programs and takes in around 3.8T.
What's putting us in debt is massive tax cuts for the rich and insane health care costs.
I don't think there's been a comprehensive bill for UBI floated yet.

- nickthemagicman 6y agoI didn't realize all 4 trillion of our budget went to paying for social safety nets! That's news to me thanks for making me aware! People on this website are so smart!
- tastyfreeze 6y agoI didn't imply that at all. If the government already can't pay their bills then adding anything to the budget should be untenable until the deficit is covered.
