“Bread” “Kalbitang” “Alaska”…與 Basic income war, weird fight

In addition, the debate over basic income in the Democratic Party is growing.

Following Lee Nak-yeon and Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, former Blue House secretary Lim Jong-seok joined the anti-basic income front. It is a many-to-one composition of the runners of the beomchinmun and Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong.

In an article posted on his Facebook page on the 14th, Jeon Lim argued that “the idea that basic income should be guaranteed for everyone is the same,” but “it is not realistic to pay equally regardless of income.” He also pointed out that it is difficult to pay 200,000 won per month (per person) even if all of the Korean welfare systems are integrated.

If this is the case, basic income is likely to become a policy match between the next presidential candidates in the passport. Re-elected members of the Democratic Party’s metropolitan area said, “As Governor Lee, a firm basic incomeist, beats to the top of the approval rating, other runners are compelled to take a stand. “If the contest begins in earnest, the debate will become more intense.”

Anti-Basic Income Offensive by Pan-Chinese Runners is mainly focused on the reality of financing. In response, Governor Lee focused on explaining its feasibility by unveiling his step-by-step basic income action plan on the 7th. In the short term, the plan is to pay 500,000 won per person per year through budget adjustment, and then increase it by 500,000 won per person per month through reduction and increase in tax cuts.

The clue that basic income, which had been treated as a policy issue at the periphery, has grown into the central political agenda was prepared by Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee.

Chairman Kim mentioned “the material freedom for hungry people to eat bread” in a lecture for the first elected members of the party on June 3 last year. Chairman Kim met with reporters right after the lecture and said, “I am not limited to basic income. If it is difficult to secure financial resources, no matter how consensus is formed, it is not easy to implement.” But the governor immediately said, “The basic income should start at the level possible without any increase and increase by providing additional financial resources annually” (June 8 last year. The first debate in the politics began as a match was made.

Governor Lee argued on the 10th that his basic income theory is different from the policy he named’basic income’ in terms of the people’s power. At the same time, he beat Chairman Kim’s parable of bread with rib soup. It is pointed out that “the basic income claimed by the people’s power is contradictory in terms of expression like galbitang without ribs.” Governor Lee said, “The core concept of basic income is’fairly for all’, but the power of the people is centered on difference and selection. They deceive the people with a basic income without a base.”

Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki and Minister of Strategy and Finance are also opponents of basic income. In a lecture in June last year, Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, “Is it more appropriate to eliminate all support for people in need such as medical care and to give a certain amount of bread for the whole people?” and “It is difficult to agree to basic income.” In July last year, in a questionnaire to the government of the National Assembly, the basic income ‘Three Bulgari’ was also raised. Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, “Even if you give 300,000 won per person, it costs 200 trillion won, which is a burden on the national finances, and giving more money to the difficult class is more effective.

Since then, Governor Lee has poured out several strong criticisms against Deputy Prime Minister Hong. In October of last year, “Is this country the country of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy? The Ministry of Science and Technology is an agent and master who is infinitely loyal for the people. Improving the lives of the people in line with the total budget was criticized, saying that it means sticking to the typical fiscal policy of the tabletop public theory,” and in December, he said to Deputy Prime Minister Hong, “It is not a boast to save surgery expenses during the war, but a low level.”

On the 9th, Governor Lee also quoted Pope Francis’ remarks, saying, “I hope the government will understand that the paradigm of technical bureaucracy is not enough to deal with this crisis or the great problems affecting humanity.” “The US President Roosevelt’s New Deal policy was radically criticized at the time,” he explained. “At this point, many countries are using policies that were unthinkable in the past.”

Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon has clarified his opposition to basic income this year. In a speech to the National Assembly on the 2nd, he announced the’new welfare’ initiative that thickly strengthens the existing welfare system, such as the allowance for children under the age of 18 and the all-injury allowance, and immediately after the speech, “(basic income) is a place other than Alaska. “No,” he struck the governor. In a broadcast interview on the 14th, he argued that “basic income needs to be studied over time, but the new welfare system (which I claim) can be carried out from the urgent one with a time difference.”

To this criticism within the party, Governor Lee confronted the expression by bringing out the expression “a sense of enthusiasm for the lordship.” On the 7th, on his Facebook page, “BTS’s domination of the global music market and parasites dominating the world’s best film festivals were impossible until reality.” “It is politics that makes the impossible possible. It is administration to do,” he wrote.

For the time being, the basic income debate in the passport seems to be unfolding in the composition of’Beomchinmun vs. Lee Jaemyeong’. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said on the 4th, “There is no country on the planet that has successfully operated a general basic income system. Populism-based politics will fail.” He added to the critique of basic income. Rep. Lee Gwang-jae, who is mentioned as the third candidate for pro-moon, said on the same day that “to claim basic income, you must be able to give how much money, where to walk or save money, and to clearly suggest alternatives for how to give it.” did.

Lim Jeon, who declared his retirement from the political world, also expressed his opposition to basic income every day. “I still can’t shake the question of whether the idea of ​​basic income is fair and just in our reality right now” (last 8th) is the basic idea of ​​the former head of the game. Lim ended the post posted on Facebook that day with the words “I look forward to a healthy discussion.” It was an expression suggesting that the debate was about to begin.
