Warren at 4th debate on UBI vs her SS plan

Here is my thought about something that Elizabeth Warren said to Andrew Yang at the debate:

Warren said:

"I understand that what we are all looking for is how we strengthen America's middle class and actually I think the thing closest to the Universal Basic Income is Social Security. It is one of the reasons that I have put forward a plan to extend the solvency of Social Security by decades... It also has a provision for your wife, for those who stay home to do care-giving, for children or for seniors and creates an opportunity for them to get credit on their Social Security. So AFTER a lifetime of hard work, people are entitled to retire with dignity. I see this as an important question but I just want to understand the data on this." First of all, "I understand that what we are all looking for is how we strengthen America's middle class..." No, we are not ALL looking for how to strengthen the middle class. There are many of us in America who are not part of the middle class and never have been. Many of us live at or directly close to the poverty line. We are sick of hearing the religious rhetoric about the holy "middle class". The reason there is such an interest and passion for Universal Basic Income is precisely because it helps ALL people. It is the fist proposal that looks beyond class and instead helps people because we are human. This is what people like Warren and other established democrats fail to grasp. We are moving toward a world where human value must be recognized separate from class or work status. Secondly, " It (Warren's plan for Social Security) also has a provision for your wife, for those who stay home to do care-giving... This is in response to Yang's statement about Universal Basic Income, how it rewards unrecognized work, like the work his wife is doing, taking care of his 2 children, "one of whom is autistic". So Warren is claiming that people doing such stay-at-home parenting and care-giving work will be compensated later when they retire and collect Social Security. Now picture a parent who is struggling. What will help them and the quality of life of the child? An extra $1000 a month right now, or some compensation for their struggles, 20, 30 or 40 years later when they retire? The answer seems obvious to me.
