hot take: I think we should eliminate every single social program - including medicare and social security - and replace it with UBI.

zero administrative overhead. just cash transfers that you spend in the economy.

if you choose not to be responsible and save for retirement, or buy health insurance or food with it cool you can die / starve (or get a job, or appeal to private charity).

using current tax receipts, if you gave this to every working age adult it would be about $XXXXXX per year (or $XXXXXX for a family with two adults), which is about half of the current US median household income which seems very reasonable.
