> You threw out $1000 a month, any reason?

Well I think it needs to at least be high enough that other social spending can largely be cut (except for healthcare maybe), and that seemed like a reasonable value.

Unfortunately I can't read the link you posted since I don't have an account there.

You can usually google articles and it goes around paywalls, otherwise you can just google for Charles Murray's UBI plan.

There are a bunch of UBI plans, which all vary across the political spectrum. Some are financed entirely with progressive wealth taxes, others nearly entirely with cuts to existing programs. The math usually works out decently through some trick or another, like limiting recipients to only {kids, adults} or phasing out by income.
