You can drop a lot of means tested support for the poor. But I don't think it was to abolish all welfare for special needs groups.

The very initial idea in libertarian circles was to abolish literally all welfare.

The problem is once you start looking into leaving safety nets, bureaucracy is no longer reduced and budget savings no longer happen. Then you need to find a ton fo extra €€€€ to fund UBI. Suddenly „yay no nanny state“ becomes „yay more taxes“...
