Comments on: Paul Krugman’s conventional wisdom http://www.incomesecurityforall.org/paul-krugmans-conventional-wisdom Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:34:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Frank Brennan http://www.incomesecurityforall.org/paul-krugmans-conventional-wisdom/comment-page-1#comment-7 Frank Brennan Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:00:29 +0000 http://www.incomesecurityforall.org/?p=474#comment-7 I have just been reading up on this recently. I totally agree that this is the best approach to solving many of our economic problems. In fact, it would be far cheaper to maintain society than the out of whack system now in place. All social programs such as food stamps, subsidized housing, all forms of tax deductions, and eventually even social security could be replaced by a simple, guaranteed income. Crime and homelessness would be reduced, and education and employment would increase, putting money back into the economy. People would truly be free. Our society would actually be on the road to becoming civilized. There are many other problems this country has to deal with, such as our economy and imperialism, but this would be the cornerstone to getting our country on track.
