RE: What Happened When Liberia Tested a Pilot Program of Unconditional Cash Transfers to the Extreme Poor?
There was a program in the US to have a basic income in the 70's under Nixon who was in favor of it. As I recall it the bill passed the House but died in the Senate because the Democrats voted against it. The Democrats figured the bill wasn't giving enough, wanted a higher figure and after that it was never revived.
