This is exactly wrong.  The cost basic goods would increase.  Basic Income would immediately have an inflationary effect as the money supply for these good would be expanded drastically.<p>The Employer would not see as much benefit as you&#x27;d think as presumably he would be amongst the class of people&#x2F;entities (including the middle class, upper class, and corporation) which would be paying for this indirectly in the form of taxes.<p>Alternatively, if Basic income is debt finance (and not financed directly through taxes), incurring more debt also has inflationary effects.
