600 a month BI is 7200 a year. From the calculations above, that requires 5050*267 million more government revenue than we have, or 1.35 trillion dollars (after cutting the non-old age part of Social Security, and the welfare part). How are

First off, I think the idea of BI is great, I just don't think we have the real taste of what that would look like yet from someone who knows how to write bills. Lots of handwaving from all corners. I don't see how cutting medic

I think 2.8 trillion to 3.8 trillion is a large tax increase no matter what spending you cut. Btw, spending was 3.5 trillion.

12,000 for 316 million people is 3.8 trillion dollars. Total GDP was 16.8 trillion Total federal tax revenue was 2.8 trillion in 2013 This would be an enormous tax increase if it was the only tool used to provide income to people.
