Citizen's Wage: A Version of the Concept

[Benton]

Interesting idea, but I dunno. It would be the cheaper than the close to a trillion we spend now on all social aide programs, but our economy doesn't have a lot of checks in regard to wages. If people are willing to pay $100 for a pill, pharma will charge $101, even if that person doesn't make that in a day.

I think costs would just continue to go up. Of course it can be tied in to value of the dollar.
