No; it will do no such thing. It will only create more deficits and dependency. If you had had a real education, you would know this.

Can you see a world with more people than Jobs?
A world that builds For-Profit Prisons.
Prisons that hold the 'excess people'.

The appeal of UBI has less to do with consumption and more to do with efficiency. The problem with Yang's proposal is that he wants to add UBI to the current welfare system. That would be financial suicide.
UBI should instead replace the welfare state. It would be vastly more efficient, and we could lay off a lot of the dead weight in government. The overall cost would be a lot less than the current welfare state as well, as long as the stipend is relatively low.

As automation takes over more Jobs, it will be the only.

"First, if you're already receiving some forms of government aid — such as food stamps or TANF — then under Yang's plan you would choose to keep your current benefits or take the $1,000-a-month UBI instead. In other words, rather than stacking atop the existing welfare state, Yang's Freedom Dividend would replace portions of it depending on recipients' voluntary decisions.
Granted, America's existing welfare programs are shot through with capricious requirements, random income cutoffs, and a whole mess of despiriting bureaucracy that lower-income Americans have to navigate. As Yang himself put it: "Our welfare programs are designed to be difficult." Replacing that maze with a simple, monthly, no-strings-attached check would arguably leave a lot of people better off, even if some of them would have to give up some of their existing benefits."

I agree it would be more efficient and you could cut the bureaucracy.

We have a world today where there are jobs and people that don't want to work.

Those prisons couldn't make a profit if individuals didn't choose to commit crimes.
Prisons hold criminals not just random excess people.

What that should motivate people to do is better themselves rather than be so useless that a machine could take over what they do.

It's not Trump's America when jobs are being created but people don't want to work.
No "business" can make a profit unless people choose to use it. If individuals don't make the choice to commit crimes, not a single for-profit prison would make a dime.
Prisons hold criminals not excess people.

Only if idiots like Bernie are in charge.
WTF does this have to do with anything?
Do you think there is a difference between privately controlled prisons and Government controlled prisons?
