Watters: With Universal Basic Income, Democrats 'figured it out': 'Just bribe people to vote for them'

The panel on "The Five" discussed Democratic cities and other municipalities planning to begin paying their own citizens a stipend without recompense, as the idea of universal basic income gains steam among left-wing politicians.

Host Jesse Watters said the plans are an obvious way for Democrats to reward people for putting them in power. "The Democrats might have just figured it out. Just bribe people to vote for them. Why stop at $1,000? Let’s go to 2 and 3 until you can just overload the Treasury and no one knows what’s going to happen -- We will just print [the money]," he said. "I just see every homeless person or someone is down on their luck or drug abuser -- [they can] just move to L.A., Chicago, New York, get a mailbox address. Collect $1,000 a month. Why not?"
