Commission urges guaranteed annual income for families
A blue ribbon panel chaired by Thomas Watson and Walter Reuther urged Congress to guarantee a minimum annual income for every American family. The plan would require federal top‑ups to meet a fixed standard, with costs projected between 2 and 20 billion dollars. The commission also called for 500,000 public sector jobs, two years of free postsecondary education, salary parity for blue and white collar workers, and stronger social security plus welfare reform, aiming for over 4 percent annual growth to offset automation losses.
