yup I agree. It’s funny though he hasn’t explicitly said but if you read the Roosevelt Institute study that Yang references, they talk about funding a UBI through deficit spending.
it’s clear Yang is has patrons in Silicon Valley and he’s not willing to use the entire toolkit of power in his funding plan and antitrust regimen. plus his funding plan aims to put the UBI sticker price lower
he references the family assistance plan that passed the US House in 1971. I think that was giving every household below a threshold a $1000 (equivalent in today’s dollars) a month rather than individual
