Universal Basic Income is just what it sounds like. UBI guarantees everyone, rich and poor alike, a certain minimum cash income and replaces the alphabet soup of current welfare programs.
www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/04/it-finally-time-ubi

It's gotten some attention thanks to planned experiments in Finland and the Netherlands, and a referendum for a national UBI in Switzerland this summer.

So what are the pros and cons? Here's a quick, extremely non-exhaustive rundown.

THE CONS

#1: It costs a fortune.

A reasonable UBI would probably amount to about $10,000 per year, which works out to a total cost of $3.2 trillion. Of course, we'd also eliminate lots of welfare payments, so the net cost would be less than that. But even accounting for that, it would probably require the federal income tax to be doubled or tripled. That's a pretty tough sell. Total Federal Spending in 2015 was $3.8 trillion
www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/

#2: It can't replace everything.

You can—barely—live on $10,000 per year. But that won't pay for health care. It won't pay for public schools for our kids. We'll still have to keep some welfare programs around even with a UBI. On the plus side, as long as these programs are universal, they generally retain the benefits of a UBI: low admin costs and no bad work incentives.

#3: What about children?

This is tricky. Option A is to simply include them like everyone else. But this provides a substantial incentive to have children in order to get their UBI, and that's not something most voters are likely to accept. Option B is to give children a smaller UBI than adults. But would that be enough to provide for them properly? Nobody wants kids to suffer because their parents are poor. How do you ensure that?

#4: What about the elderly?

Should retirees be folded into the UBI? If so, their pensions would be quite a bit lower than they are now. If not, we'd basically be guaranteeing a higher UBI for old people than for young people. Would that seem fair to most people?

#5: Money is a sadly vulnerable commodity.

It's an unfortunate but painful truth that poor people are often vulnerable to having cash taken away from them. It can be stolen, of course, but more likely it's simply confiscated by someone they're living with. This is obviously a problem with earnings of all kinds, but one advantage of existing welfare programs is that it provides a minimum floor to this. A drunk and abusive husband can't take away your Section 8 voucher or your food stamps or your Medicaid in order to blow it on beer and smokes.

Because the program would cost $3.2 trillion (since the population is 0.32 billion multiplied by $10,000 for each person) and Federal Tax Revenue is only $2 trillion, it would not be a Cut-N-Paste gov program. It would be bigger than WWII. But the spending on WWII eventually tapered off. This Universal Basic Income will grow and grow with the population.
www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/

So, the Universal Basic Income will not be happening until America is full of robots that replaced low-skill workers at almost no cost. If we get to a point where a substantial number of people flatly don't have the skills to perform any job for any wage, what are we going to do? The most likely answer is that we'll end up with a UBI whether we like it or not. And that makes it worth thinking about right now.

Yesterday, I saw another article about a guaranteed income, which is just what you need:
What Would Happen If We Just Gave People Money? Apr 25, 2016 at 6:00 AM
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/universal-basic-income/

The article said that Canadian families receiving the guaranteed minimum income had fewer hospitalizations, accidents and injuries. Mental health hospitalizations fell dramatically. And the high school completion rate ticked up during the years of the experiment, with 16-to-18-year-old boys, in particular, more likely to finish school. Younger adolescent girls were less likely to give birth before age 25, and when they did, they had fewer kids.

"Cash from the government eased families’ economic anxiety, allowing them to invest in their health and plan over a longer horizon."
