You've made claims up and down this thread that amount to "trust me" or "look it up". None of these are simple factual matters like "What is the capital of Egypt?". There are numerous studies about basic income, all driven by different assumptions and biases. No one knows exactly which one you're referring to when you say "look it up". It's impossible to have a detailed discussion when everyone isn't evaluating the same information.
If you can tell us the % of bureaucratic overhead that's consumed by the US welfare system, then please do so. Otherwise you can simply say nothing.
There's others that have posted the % overhead for various programs in this thread.
There is so much nonsense repeated here that for me to look up everything, which I have done in the past, would not be worth the time. Take a moment to pick one thing I claimed, check it carefully.
> None of these are simple factual matters
How much is spent by any welfare program is a simple fact. The budget spent to administer that is a simple fact. Thus the overhead is a simple fact.
And I have never looked into one and found this massive overhead UBI people claim.
And even with throwing all that small overhead into UBI for free, and assuming UBI has zero overhead.... The number are still not going to work, or, as I started with, will screw those already needing assistance.
