Austin TX Approved Guaranteed Income Program
Panel discusses taxpayers in the capitol city funding a pilot "guaranteed income" program.

Taxpayers in the capital city are funding a pilot "guaranteed income" program.

A California firm has been picked to administer the program - and they claim that the benefits help low-income recipients boost savings and reduce debt.
What do you think - a justifiable helping hand or a very slippery slope?
