$12,000 per year per person (for every U.S. citizen) = 3.8 trillion.

So America will vote for less military spending, less education, or less of any set of things currently composing a huge hunk of this shoestring budget? Yeah, I don't know where else you'd get the money but taxing the rich disproportionately more. That's what pro-UBI is voting for. I'm not sayin' it's a bad idea or a good idea, I'm just sayin'... if the wealthy are on a power play, how can the middle and lower class score?

Edit: Also, various conditions will change in unforeseen ways. Best prediction ever, 99.8% historical success rate.
