Opinion
Santens: Replacing entire welfare state with $1,500 UBI is not politically saleable
“I don't think that that would pass. I think that that's appeals to a very specific segment, and I don't think that that would be politically saleable.”

What-if
Santens: A $1,000 UBI from 1971 indexed to GDP per capita would be $2,300 today
“If we had introduced a thousand dollar a month basic income, no under Nixon in the 71, then right now that would be close to, you know, I think it would be like 2300 dollars a month, somewhere around there right now. That was index GDP per capita.”
