It’s cost. Multiply population by the amount and you get a huge number. The math only works if you get rid of a lot of others social programs with vested interests.
- 13of40 3y agoThere are about 250 million adults in the US. If we give each of them $1000 a month, that's 3 trillion dollars per year. For comparison, the US government collected 2.6 trillion dollars in federal income tax in 2022.

It’s all gone. Don’t you feel better off now that everyone is equal? (The rich obviously still get to go to hospital)
