Good questions all, Mr. K, which I expect will be asked repeatedly if and as this discussion continues.  As you can see, I have been writing myself silly about this topic, not only in this forum, but in other online venues as well--ever since I first saw a story on a mainland website almost a week ago.  So, at the moment, I am unable to explain--once again, from scratch, the many and varied ways UBI could be funded.  

As a result, I encourage you, and anyone else who is so motivated--who wants to scale up your understanding of how much time and thought others have already put into developing and broadcasting Idea--can start by using my name to search the Civil Beat Politics FB page.  I have post numerous articles and comments about this in recent years, particularly in the past few months.  I suggest you first search for an article entitled "The Basic Income Discussion is a Mess", and read the copy prefaced my own additions to the analysis of presented by the author.--con't below
