Ironically, the same people who would complain about free education, would complain 10x over more money for the homeless or healthcare.

That's pretty country-dependent, and is a caricature of most serious people. (Unfortunately lots of people actually do fall into that caricature). E.g. Bryan Caplan is a libertarian, and while I don't think he personally supports a universal basic income, supporting a UBI is a fairly common libertarian position.
