The concept is to provide a family income floor to generate enough income to place all families above the poverty level through a Loan Program similar to the Federal Reserve TALF Program. Instead of giving zero interest loans to corporations or hedge funds, they would be given instead to families, A one time loan to purchase long term bonds or similar investments to generate a floor of income to stabilize families thur interest collected till bond maturity.
