This, or a version of this, has become some sort of crazy left idea (the real crazy left idea is "nobody should live in poverty")
to the right. But how can this be some sort of crazy idea? We can argue about how to ensure it happens, or why it too often doesn't happen, but we're the richest damn country in the world (close enough) and if you work full time and still can't manage to eke out a basic stable existence then something is wrong with our grand economic model.
