US GOP senators Mark Rubio and Mike Lee have proposed what could be the beginning of a basic income in the US. The proposal has a work requirement and is insufficient to secure live essentials, but according to Dylan, it is a promising step forward. This and other basic income ideas have been floating around Congress, including those with no work requirement.
