>he thinks value by fiat means that the government can print as much money as it wants without consequence
If you could just recieve 5000$ a month, why would you need to work in the first place?
Because then the price level then the price level adjusts accordingly, making the purpose of the $5 grants obsolete
What do they actually teach you in liberal arts classes then?

So why would anyone working at a job like a firefighter, police officer, or paramedic for 50 per year not quit their job again?
Oh teachers too
Actually everyone should just quit their jobs, the government can just give them money for existing. And since the tax revenue will go down massively they can just print more money, right?
If 50% of the US people make less than 60k per year, that means the government has to pay out 60,000 × 150 million.
Lol anon, lol hard

$5000/mo is too high. They did run experiments in the 70s/80s in some Canadian & American cities though where they just replaced all welfare programs with cash payments with generally positive results. Rand put a bill forward to do something like that

>True Poverty Rate is 4.5% or 14.5%
so either ~ 14,524,291 if its 4.5% or 46,800,943 it you use the other percentage
14,524,291 x $5,000 = $72,621,455,000.00
46,800,943 x $5,000 = $234,002,465,000.00
