The story continues to emerge from the political arena as to introduce disaster-based income that is distributed to people as much as it is difficult. The government is in a difficult position, but the voice of the need for local governments is not fading.

The head of the economy said today (11) the National Assembly's Budget Settlement Committee, which examines the Corona Supplement, whether or not to introduce basic disaster income.

[Hong Nam Ki / Deputy Prime Minister: Given the government financial conditions, I think it is a very difficult option.]

The 11 trillion won supplementary budget is also due to the issuance of deficit treasury bonds, making it difficult to organize tens of trillion won. Recently, Gyeongnam Governor Kim Gyeong-su asked the entire nation to give disaster-based basic income of 1 million won per person, which would require 50 trillion won.

Governor Kim said that the money given to the high-income bracket will be returned to tax next year, and that the economic stimulus will generate additional revenues of 8-9 trillion won.

Park Won-soon, the mayor of Seoul, also proposed a plan for giving 600,000 won to 8 million households.

Corona19 is also paying attention to disaster basic incomes in areas with severe damage.

[Kwon Young-jin / Daegu Mayor: If the introduction of disaster basic income is defeated or ends with election lip service, it will be very hard and difficult for Daegu citizens.]

Indeed, Jeonju is pushing for 500,000 won for 50,000 vulnerable groups.

Disaster-based income proponents say, "It is more economically damaging than any disaster and needs more support than traditional methods," he said. "We can boost the economy without wasting administrative power to screen the targets."

However, some say that consumer sentiment reduced to Corona19 may have less stimulus than expected and worsen fiscal soundness.

There is also criticism that the general election is in front of the nose and the populist policy for the vote. .
