We reduce welfare spending when times are hard. Same deal. Not a substantial argument against welfare or UBI.

Bwuh? Citation needed; I'm pretty sure it went the other way around in the previous downturn.

    So I guess we didn't run out of money per jerf's scenario, then.

      That's not even remotely a sensible argument, since we didn't have UBI then.

      You are either not arguing in anything remotely resembling good faith or are not tall enough for this ride. You may have the reply to this unopposed; I'm done here.
