Federal poverty level is 15930 for a two people family unit, that gives 8000 USD&#x2F;person&#x2F;year (slightly below 10k), * 300 mln is 2.4trln. Total income from social security tax (assuming you&#x27;re replacing all social security with flat just-out-of-poverty basic income) comes to 1.1trln. So definitely short, but assuming 4% annual growth (figure reverse engineered from budget predictions in the futute), that gives us 20 years when in real terms we would be able to fund it entirely from social security tax.<p>Sources: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usgovernmentrevenue.com&#x2F;federal_budget_detail" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usgovernmentrevenue.com&#x2F;federal_budget_detail</a>
