Meet Jon Baron, a Denver skateboarder who happens to be blind. He's been skating for more than 25 years and is nearly at the top in a nationwide competition.
A little-noticed study titled “The Employment Effects of Generous and Unconditional Cash Support” was published in February 2023 by the German-based Institute of Labor Economics. The study reviewed the employment and other effects of a recent unconditional cash transfer program benefitting low-income families in Spain. That program is similar in many respects to universal basic income (UBI) programs proposed in Congress and being tested in multiple locations across the U.S. It also bears similarities to the unconditional expanded child tax credit payments temporarily made to tens of millions of households with children in 2021, which President Joe Biden’s latest proposed budget seeks to revive.
I’ve repeatedly expressed opposition to “universal basic income” and I repeated those concerns as part of a conference at the Acton Institute earlier this week.
