MSNBC's idiotic plan: Minimum income for everyone

The Blaze: MSNBC Host’s Radical Idea: ‘Every Non-Incarcerated Adult Citizen Gets a Monthly Check From the Government’​

On Tuesday’s edition of MSNBC’s “The Cycle,” co-host Krystal Ball suggested that the United States implement a minimum guaranteed income for every “non-incarcerated adult citizen.” The enormous entitlement program would “eliminate poverty” completely, Ball claimed.

Referencing protests occurring across the globe, the MSNBC host made her pitch for a “monthly minimum income” or a “mincome.” The free government money would not only solve poverty, but it would not create deincentives to work, she claimed.

“The basic concept is simple,” she said. “Every non-incarcerated adult citizen gets a monthly check from the government. Other safety net programs are jettisoned to pay for the mincome, and poverty is eliminated.”

Our first clue to the idiocy of this plan should be the name of the conceiver of this hair-brained socialist idea. Who name's their child "Krystal Ball." Sounds more like she should be on a pole somewhere in a dark, seedy club instead of on a "major" television network.

Ball's segment is called "Krystal Clear." Perhaps it should be called "Krystal Meth" because she had to be smokin' something to dare to go on television with this nonsense.

Wow.

Just, wow.

And how would this "mincome" determine prices of food, goods, automobiles, houses, etc.? Would the government then fall into the responsibility of price-regulating to ensure that "mincome" actually was a "living wage"?

Dear God in Heaven, does she really NOT know that she just described Russia during most of the 20th century? And look where they are now!!!

Today's socialists are oblivious to the fact that the system has never worked. As a very wise world leader once said:

"The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." -- Winston Churchill​

How brazen can you get?

The left have stopped using code words for socialism ("safety net") and are now using marketing hype words, ("mincome".)

I dunno, sometimes you can really see the future in those crystal balls.
