The US govt has recently dumped trillions into the banking system in a matter of days. Last I checked they were talking about additionally cutting payroll taxes for the year.

Somehow they were able to do this without raising taxes by 50%... Turns out we have the money after all.

This isn't a fair comparison. That injection is a loan. I support UBI, but we can't be making bad comparisons like this. It doesn't help.
