Might be a moneysaving idea if done properly:

Give the basic income and take away all of the other programs for the poor. Requirement: after plugging in all of the numbers, federal expenditures on the poor must go down.

Great term. That’s exactly it: replace the welfare system with everyone given, just for breathing, a poverty line income with no certification of need.

If we’re going to have a massive welfare state, UBI/WFA is the best way, eliminating complex bureaucracies. And it takes us to the sheer absurdity of it all, the point where I’ll start pulling out of taxable economy.
