☆ Republican leaders are worried that basic income programs will give Democrats an edge during the election
  + stars: | 2024-03-24 | by ( Katie Balevic | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Members of the GOP have expressed their opposition to the guaranteed basic income programs that are popping up in cities and counties nationwide. Guaranteed basic income programs grant select participants cash with no strings attached for a period of time. They are a more targeted version of universal basic income programs, which grant funds to an entire population. In Hudson, a town of about 6,000 people, a privately funded basic income program grants recipients $500 monthly for five years. Even so, some experts say guaranteed basic income won't make it on the federal level because of ongoing problems with existing programs, such as Supplemental Security Income.

Read previewAs guaranteed basic-income programs get more popular, opposition is also on the rise. Several lawmakers, like Arizona's Gillette, believe that income programs would discourage work and could raise taxes. A recently introduced bill in South Dakota would ban basic-income programs at the state level and prevent municipal governments from creating local programs.

☆ Republican lawmakers in Iowa seek to block guaranteed basic income programs, calling them 'insane'

Read previewRepublican lawmakers in Iowa are pulling out all the stops to block guaranteed basic income plans they described as "socialism on steroids." Guaranteed basic income programs typically offer no-strings-attached cash to certain groups, like the poor or new mothers. Universal basic income, its like-minded cousin, offers cash to entire populations regardless of income. Numerous counties and cities, many of them in red states, across the United States have been experimenting with guaranteed basic income plans. Holt called basic income programs an "attack on the work ethic in this country."
