It's simpler (cheaper)
2 comments

Well in that case, simpler and cheaper can be achieved through the reduction of military expenditures and increases in marginal tax rates for high earners.
Unrelated points. These things are not mutually exclusive.
They don't have to be. I'm saying there are better sources of funding.
If it's cheaper, doesn't that necessarily mean that people on welfare will be receiving less benefit? Actually much less since UBI will go to everyone, if it's cheaper in spite of that...
The overhead of administering the program is cheaper.
