I could argue that fewer people need to work and lean towards a basic income. Sadly, this is not very palatable to most people.

I think it would become much more palatable if someone came up with a plan for basic income that didn't require tripling the federal budget.

Increasing taxes to fund increased services is exactly increasing the federal budget.

Parent said "budget", not "deficit".
