I don't think Job Guarantee proponents are suggesting that the sick and disabled also have to work. They continue to receive welfare without any work requirements. I'm not a JG proponent, I just thought your comment was miscontrueing their position.
- dasmoth 12y agoBut to implement that, you still need some administration to work out who's eligible for welfare and who needs to work. Basic Income schemes potentially eliminate this requirement.
- sjtrny 12y agoThere will still be a need for admin/bureaucracy with BI. Some people will need extra benefits because of their circumstances and people will have issues (e.g. suddenly their payments stop). I'm not convinced BI will decrease the number of support people since more people will actually be using the service.
