The question I've always wondered about UBI type programs (and I've been a fan) is what happens when people don't spend the money wisely? Take homelessness for example, what happens when you give homeless people $1,000/month and they spend it on drugs and are still homeless and hungry? In the end it seems like we will be left paying for UBI and social programs like public housing, food stamps and drug addiction programs. UBI will simply not be a replacement for most social programs as it is often advertised, which in my mind means we probably can't afford it.
