Abstract
Every adult who is an American and who has legally lived in the United States for at least five years will be covered. For those here less than five years, emergency services will be provided as they are now.
A Basic Income Guarantee can provide every adult American enough income for basic food and shelter. Funds will come from cutting government programs that will be superfluous, including welfare and especially ’corporate welfare,’ with all associated bureaucracies.
