While I agree to some extent, if we ever want to get rid of welfare etc and move to a basic income for everyone one of the problems could be people mismanaging their basic income leading to people still starving or having other financial troubles.

Something like this API may make basic income more feasible if we could ensure that people aren't able to blow their budget and go hungry even with basic income.
