Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi floated the idea of Universal Basic Income as part of the federal government’s Coronavirus response; saying it’s something lawmakers should definitely examine going forward.
“Let’s see what works, what is operational, and what needs other attention? Others have suggested a minimum income, a guaranteed income for people. Is that worthy of attention now? Perhaps so,” she said on MSNBC on Monday.
The idea was popularized by former presidential candidate Andrew Yang earlier this year.
“Thrilled that #StimulusChecks are reaching Americans who filed for direct deposit. They will help. But they are not enough. They should be monthly and should go to EVERY American regardless of circumstance,” posted Yang on social media.

A NEW LOW: MSNBC Analyst Claims Trump’s Coronavirus Response Constitutes ‘Involuntary Manslaughter’
MSNBC Legal Analyst Glenn Kirschner left millions of users on social media scratching their heads this week; baselessly asserting President Trump’s Coronavirus response could be prosecuted for “involuntary manslaughter.”
“Trump’s conduct easily satisfies all 3 elements of involuntary manslaughter. In fact, his gross negligence is beginning to look more like conduct evincing a ‘conscious disregard of an extreme risk of death/serious bodily injury = the standard for depraved heart/2nd degree murder,’” he posted on Twitter.
