Today is a day that ends in ‘y.’ So, naturally, Rep. Ilhan Omar wants to spend billions more in taxpayer money. The far-left Minnesota Democrat’s latest socialist scheme is a quasi-universal basic income program. She just introduced legislation that would pave the way for the first national “UBI” program in the United States.

Omar’s legislation, the SUPPORT Act, would create a new office in the Treasury Department and fund a $2.5 billion grant program for local pilot experiments with UBI. Then, over the next decade, it would establish a taxpayer-funded “basic income” of $1,200 per month for all U.S. adults who earn $75,000 or less annually with an additional $600 per month for each child in a household. The income “phase out” would begin at $150,000 annual incomes for two-adult households.
