As someone on the right spectrum of fiscal policies, I wholly support UBI for the potential to reduce spending overall. No more fat cats in the government, you don't need managers upon managers to decide who gets what. On average, the US federal government spends at least 1 trillion on welfare each year, and state and local another 1.4 Trillions in hundreds (maybe thousands) of programs. 2.4 trillions each year means 7500 per person. Double up that number (it will be a wash for richer people) and you're mostly done. All the state needs to do is take care of special disabilities, which require significantly more money. But most everyone else can make due with 15k a year.
