You make it sound like there are only two choices:
1. Confronting the politics of building a social saftey net in America.
2. Retarding innovation, wasting human potential, etc. etc.
Yet there is a perfectly good third solution that has worked countless times in history when technology has made certain jobs redundant, and will without a doubt continue to work long into the future.
3. Re-skill and get a different job.

I'm glad we finally agree that there are at least three choices, that building a safety net is one of them, and that going to work so that you have a roof, food, and healthcare isn't the only one.
