I've heard that cranberry juice along with antibiotics is a good option.

I suppose they could pay it all back in taxes, but it seems simpler to me to just give it to people who are below some income level. 250 billion dollars doesn't go as far as it used to; it's about enough for 25 million people to get $10,000 a year. Dived it by 330 million and it's less than a thousand a year. I agree with a minimum income to provide a floor to help people stay homed and out of poverty, it's the universal part I have trouble with.

As opposed to the ‘trickle down’ nonsense, I’ve long been a supporter of Piñata Economics. That’s where poor people get to hit the uber rich with sticks until the money drops out.

UBI is a great idea, should've been implemented a long time ago, can't believe they're just now getting around to it.
