We currently spend between $500 and $600 billion a year on welfare programs, food stamps, disability and the like. This reduces the cost of Universal Basic Income because people already receiving benefits would have a choice but would be ineligible to receive the full $1,000 in addition to current benefits.

Well...
This guy doesn’t have a monopoly on UBI as a concept
Unless you’re talking about cutting military spending by at least 99% you can **** off.
If you just pulled food stamps and disability from people who wanted cold cash instead
We need those safeguards for people who can’t budget at all or are vulnerable to the vampiric criminal sector that keeps an eagle eye out for people to exploit.
Out of all the ****ing ways to pay for it - taking food stamps and disability? ****ing Christ
