I agree this sounds a bit odd.
So we at least agree that america has a great deal of wealth. Certainly enough that if it really wanted to support its citizens with basic essentials it could. This kind of ubi is welfare or EI with no strings attached. This is a neutral statement about the health of the economy.
The policies of say Yang are not that interesting as for the most part he isnt really talking redistribution and I think he himself is ideologically opposed to it.
How I tend to think about the economy is very much like a game. If you have played say a game like "Banished" (https://store.steampowered.com/app/242920/Banished/) you can see how the economy works without the notions of money/debt/politics. Obviously it doesnt represent the real economy but it comes close to getting a taste. If you send me your Steam ID I will buy you a copy.
