Guaranteed Minimum Income: The Most Conservative Way To Fight Poverty

Reform conservatives' smart safety-net idea -- simply give the poor money. "While the right often overstates the inefficiencies in government, a universal credit, if structured properly, would make the U.S.'s social safety net more effective. A growing body of research finds that the best way to help low-income people is to give them money. They know how they can use it best to improve their living standards....A straight cash transfer, such as a universal credit, would eliminate the need for these transactions and deploy the government's resources more effectively....The biggest hurdle for a universal credit is funding: To fill the holes in the safety net, the government will have to spend more money." Danny Vinik in The New Republic
