I am supportive of this legislation, though I wonder as to why we don't just amend the original law to make the BIG an opt-out, rather than an opt-in, program. It would save us a lot of time and money.

I would support that but certainly it is much more traumatic...

Is there any money we can re-direct that is already going to the Basic Income Program?

The projected cost of BIG is not at its full predictions because there are plenty of people that are not yet enrolled on it, but it seems to me that we don't have a real official number that was allocated to said program.

How do you mean?

I mean it could cause some outrage of some welfare recipients just like what happened with Obamacare. Changing the BIG to an opt-out program would certainly be in some ways unpopular. It would require people to adapt or face a difficult bureaucratic process for getting back inside its previous program.

Fair enough. We could always make it opt-out for all future recipients.

Would approve an ammendment!

I'm ready for a final vote here. Any objections?

I believe TNF wants an amendment related about the "opt out" thing.

If they file paperwork to gain services, how is that automatic enrollment?

How is it not? Do you have anything legitimate to contribute to these pieces of legislation, or did you just run for Senate to ask inane questions and slow the whole process down?

It is a legitimate question.

I object to Senator TNF's confusing amendment, seeing as he has no interest in explaining it.

It's a strange amendment anyway... maybe it needs tuning...
