Andrew Yang says microphone was 'not on' at times during Democratic debate

How did you get to the "How will we pay for UBI?" section of his website and not see all the ways he plans to pay?

1) Offset by current programs

2) VAT

3) Economic growth caused by most people having an extra $12,000 in their pocket

4) Financial transaction tax, carbon tax, progressive cap gains tax.

Here’s the problem, those programs administrative and logistical costs aren’t likely to go down by much because fewer people are on them. Which means the cost of running those programs will become a larger and larger share of the total cost of the programs themselves and the programs will fold.

You're saying that as the net cost of benefit programs decrease due to people no longer needing them, the program will become so unpopular that it will be axed? There is no evidence that will happen.
