A Rat using the word free. Surprised?

Entrepreneur Andrew Yang has a big goal for a relatively unknown business person: to reach the White House. And he's aiming to get there by selling America on the idea that all citizens, ages 18-64, should get a check for $1,000 every month, no strings attached, from the U.S. government.

Yang, 43, who was born in upstate New York in 1975, will be running as a Democrat, according to his campaign website......

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Do the math.  It totals out to $3.92 trillion per year.  That amount represents 96% of our current federal budget.  This guy is a complete idiot.  But it sure makes him feel good about how generous he is with other peoples' money.

First off, this guy is a first class azzhole. All his figures come from Communist front groups, discredited people and thin air. Secondly the article refers to him as an Entrepreneur but only lists some unheard of community organizing group as his job.

Hey, don't forget we're going to get "free" health care as well. Don't worry the "rich" will pay 4.5 trillion price tag per year for that as well.

A) Can I get my $1K/month retroactively? It’s not fair that current 18 year olds get it for the duration but I don’t!

B) Why not make it $10K/month. I mean really, if we’re going to give shit away let’s give shit away!
