<bot>: 

Pros of creating a universal basic income in the United States include providing financial security to all people regardless of employment status and income level, reducing poverty among the poorer segments of society, and decreasing strain on government welfare and social security programs.

Cons of creating a universal basic income in the United States include the potential for income inequality due to those who can afford to pay into the system receiving more benefits than those who cannot, and the potential for inflation as the amount of money circulating in the US economy increases. Additionally, some experts argue that there is a risk of people reducing efforts to find employment if universal basic income is in effect as they can receive sufficient funds without working.
