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 medicare could work to solve income? The reason we have socialized medicine for old people is it's too expensive for insurers to carry. $350 a month is not an annualized cost for EVERY american, it's for non old people . That's including sharp obamacare type subsidies still for many age brackets. I know even my (early 30's) healthcare premiums are above that. I don't see how cutting someone who's reliant on a $2,642 dollar a month income social security retirement payment is going to work. At best, I see social security retirement largely staying at it's current level. Cutting Social Security Disability (and all the anti fraud apparatus around it) is likely very possible though >would be a lot of administrative costs eliminated Those costs are rolled up into the SSA numbers in the federal budget. A portion of the medicare cost is the medicare overhead, etc. So it's not the budget numbers + overhead: the budget numbers are inclusive already I think a wage floor (minimum wage still), strong policing of unpaid internships, and a smaller form of BI is possible, possibly without any tax increases or with far more moderate ones, especially if many state responsibilities are taken over at the federal level. I just don't see the list of things that can really be cut nor the total take we'd get from that to work with.

You're right, but until the laws change we should be telling everyone how and make these tools better.
I worked in this industry as a software developer.
