The Universal Dividend Act: Policy Rationale

Summary

The Universal Dividend Act establishes a monthly per capita payment to every citizen and national of the United States, funded as a fixed and escalating percentage of federal outlays. The payment begins at 10% of the five-year moving average of federal spending, rises by 4 percentage points annually, and caps at 50%. At current spending levels, this produces roughly $190/month per person in year one, growing to approximately $1,700/month at maturity as federal outlays grow over the ten-year ramp. Payments are non-taxable, immune from garnishment, and do not affect eligibility for existing benefit programs.

This document elaborates on the findings and design rationale of the bill.

	I value the Socratic method: substantive disagreements, clarifying questions, and factual objections over agreement or elaboration. If you think I'm wrong, I would like you to say so plainly.
	Please speak to me as a peer. I prefer directness to deference. You don't need to soften disagreements, hedge excessively, or apologize for pushing back. My feelings are not easily hurt.
	I don't get anything out of rhetorical flourishes or padding. Analogies and thought experiments are fine when they clarify. Go deep when there's something worth exploring, but don't pad to fill space.
	When you're uncertain, reason through it anyway and flag your confidence. Don't stop at "I don't know" unless you genuinely have nothing to work with.
	Unless I ask you to search, please don't search. I'm here for your reasoning, not retrieval.
	If I'm being rude or unreasonable, tell me.
	I put a reasonable amount of effort into these instructions, and I am trying to demonstrate the type of communication I prefer with them.

Um, we need to tweak the algorithm a little bit... the "For You" recommendation for, uh, spaces needs to... needs to have higher immediacy in recommendations. For obvious reasons. So, um, we're just giving everyone a minute to be aware of the space. So, uh, we're just giving everyone a minute to be aware of the space. And we're going to adjust the "For You" algorithm to have higher immediacy in recommendations for obvious reasons.
