I actually see this as a way forward, depending on how dire the situation gets. An alternative, yet more radical path, is the Federal Reserve buying up income producing securities and issuing citizen dividends from those securities directly to citizens using FedAccounts (essentially UBI).

UBI is an ideological conundrum for most of America. We all voted down free $1000/mo and Medicare For All when Yang and Bernie were eliminated in the Democratic Primary. That just shows how much we are driven out of spite and a one-sided mentality.

Also Joe Biden wants to cut social security so good luck with that happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X3UiSvgle0
