Opinion

A Universal Basic Income

A reader thinks that the idea has little merit.

 Salvatore J. Bommarito does not contribute to the discussion.
The Federal Government does not do charity.
It does do entitlements. 
A universal basic income could not cure poverty.
It could allow the impoverished to live with basic services.
It would also raise the rent.

Senate Approves Update of Toxic-Chemical Regulations

The measure, expected to be signed by the president, requires new testing of thousands of chemicals used in everyday products, but at a fairly slow pace.

This is in essence a bill that does nothing.

64,000 divided by 20 = 3,200 test cycles.
3,200 X 7years = 22,400 years to clear the backlog.
A silly number.
There is no schedule of what chemicals get examined first.

There will be another bill.  Congress cannot do arithmetic.
