A DDI (democratically distributed income) resolves the issues associated with a UBI. It is not paid to all citizens, but any (adult) citizen could become eligible for it. Its amount would be based on the current median (or even average) income. The money for the income would be free; it would be created as needed. The total of the income would form the supply of money (as currency) for the economy. There are built-in safeguards against inflation. The same process could be used to fund government (from central to local) without taxes/public debt.
