One of the most controversial ideas in political circles today is a Universal Basic Income(UBI). If Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka has his way, his state will be at the center of the debate.
Baraka announced last week that Newark will soon launch a pilot program to study the impact of a UBI on the city’s poverty rate. Unfortunately, he provided few details for his plan, making it difficult to evaluate.
The idea of a UBI has drawn increasing interest from both the left and right as either a replacement or supplement for our existing welfare system. It calls for everyone to receive a cash grant from the government without any strings attached. The same check would be available to rich and poor, working or not.
