Subject: Re: [Futurework] FW Basic Income sites Your special problem in Canada is
that your government(s) has already committed itself to future welfare payments
of over 400% of your present GDP. How on earth you are ever going to afford
those, goodness knows. You cannot possibly afford to consider any extra welfare
payments. You will certainly need a voluntary sector (and a very large one, too,
one imagines!).
Keith Keith, absolute nonsense! I have no idea of where you got your numbers, but no government, even ours, is that stupid. But I do appreciate your sense of humour. I don't know if you saw my piece on how a BI might be cobbled together from existing programs. And this morning I posted a suggestion that you could have a universal BI program with clawback provisions. Ed
