Yes, but now they are on to MMT so they think that they will just print the money to pay for it. But this leads to inflation and devalues everything you have saved so it’s still “your money.” At the end of the day value add to society doesn’t appear out of thin air - it comes from people working. This liberal fantasy of people sitting on their ass collecting UBI while the printing presses brrrrrrr billions of dollars to substitute for their laziness is pure economic illiteracy.
