I have seen this type of proposal before, and I am curious: How does this prevent people from squandering the UBI money on non-necessities and then still requiring welfare? I'm not saying everyone would do it, but there would definitely be some who don't manage the money well and require extra support. Aren't we just paying more then to fix the same problem?
