UBI won't get rid of the rest of the welfare state, so it just ends up being another transfer program. SF is not going to give up their $250M / year in "homeless services", and no government department is going to give up their special snowflake limited-eligibility programs when that is the source of all of their employment and power. For context, in SF alone for one sector (homeless services), "Eight city departments oversee at least 400 contracts to 76 private organizations, most of them nonprofits, that deal with homelessness." I would be unsurprised if employment from administering these services was higher than the number of homeless "clients". http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-spends-record-241-million-on-homeless-6808319.php http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-spends-record...
