That is a good point. I view the poor and homeless as two different groups. Yes the homeless are also poor, but as you say they often have a whole set of other problems besides money. People who are just poor, money can help them.
- acjohnson55 13y agoI would say that a very large number of people in poverty have problems that money alone can't help. But the kicker is that a very large number of those problems can be attributed to consistent poverty. So a basic income would not make our sociological problems disappear immediately. But it would contribute greatly to ending the cycle of poverty-inflicted trauma that makes poverty strongly heritable.
