New Jersey's largest city plans to test Universal Basic Income program

By Brooke Singman | Fox News

New Jersey’s largest city plans to test whether universal basic income is feasible, making it the latest government to flirt with a program that would guarantee income for residents whether or not they have a job.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced his decision last week to create a task force and pilot program to study whether the program is possible.

“We believe in Universal Basic Income, especially in a time where studies have shown that families that have a crisis of just $400 a month may experience a setback that may be difficult, even impossible to recover from,” Baraka reportedly said, adding that one-third of the city still lives in poverty.

No offense, but years ago I remember hearing Newark was among America's worst Shiteholes.

How does such a place generate enough income, to waste on handouts to unproductive persons?

This is confusing.  Would this basic income be in addition to welfare and SNAP?
