Rosie & BJ Save The World

Episode 4 - Universal Basic Income (Freedom Fund)


Listen Later

In this episode of Rosie & BJ Save the World, the co-hosts offer suggestions on saving the world and your budget at the same time with universal basic income (UBI).

Most ideas of UBI include a $1,200 monthly check for all citizens over the age of 18 — regardless of income level. The question is: How the heck do you pay for it?
