Andrew Yang claims he had some microphone problems during parts of last night's debate. Here's what he told us last month about his vie for the White House. LetYangSpeak
His signature policy issue, for which he has come to be known and which sets him apart from the positions of most of the other candidates, is, which he calls Freedom Dividends. Under that plan, every American over the age of 18 would receive $1,000 per month from the government.
“Having $1,000 per month to spend in the economy, in addition to everyone else having that $1,000 to spend, would end up creating over 2 million jobs in our communities just because most of that money would get pumped right back into local goods and services,” he explains. “Every bodega, yoga studio, bar…those are the places where that money would be spent, and with that money they could hire more people.
“My plan is much larger and more sweeping than any other UBI proposal that anyone has been arguing for,” he says. “The only overlap is that if you’re already receiving benefits and you decide to opt in for Freedom Dividend, then you have to decide between those two things.”
