刚读到的，再次印证UBI的跨党派基础—-
“While many might think this is just a crazy liberal idea, the Associated Press recently reported that this concept was an experiment under the Richard Nixon administration. In fact, Republicans Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney supervised four “guaranteed-income” experiments. Rumsfeld was director of President Richard Nixon’s Office of Economic Opportunity and Cheney was his deputy.
The “experiment” concluded that despite getting additional cash in, the money didn’t inspire people to quit their jobs or stop working. In fact, Nixon proposed to expand the program. Congress didn’t agree.”

We are in the midst of a crisis in this country. Opioids are killing 8 Americans every hour and that trend has only increased over the past several years.
While those who brought this plague on our citizens must face serious consequences, we need to make sure that those who are afflicted by the illness of addiction are treated and not criminalized. The individuals behind pharmaceutical companies who promoted these drugs as non-addictive while knowing better are the ones who belong in jail, not those who fell prey to addiction.
We need to decriminalize the possession and use of small amounts of opioids. Other countries, such as Portugal, have done so, and have seen treatment go up and drug deaths and addiction go down. When caught with a small quantity of any opioid, our justice system should err on the side of providing treatment.。
