Compare the cost per person as to the cost of each inmate in prison ( 2012: was $117,000 to $151,000!) ! Allowing for each person being able to eat well enough to be healthy would reduce health costs as well! Having a greater number of citizens able to shop & participate in their communities would make us a stronger, more cohesive nation. Income inequality divides – this policy would unite us once again! Please do the right thing – bring in guaranteed income!
