I did some elementary calculations. Giving every American Basic Income (~$1000 a month) would cost over $3 Trillion every year. How do you think this can sustainably be financed?

I recently read an article that correlated a person's mood with type of gut bacteria they have. It also said the mechanism it affects a person's mood (and mental health) is not known, but it definitely does. Anything more I can learn about this?

Thanks for the reply, but I think it still costs government the same money. Lets say if I pay $1000 in taxes and given $1000 as UBI, the government still has to make do with $1000 of lost revenues that could have been used to fund different things.

I do agree with re-distributive effect of it, but then again there is a question of political will.

EDIT: For the record, I am for UBI. Just want to construct a model that is easy to sell - even to the right wingers.
