This doesn't quite sit right with me, because it seems like the underlying argument is "those who benefit from BI don't know how to spend their money, so we have to protect them from spending it poorly". The end result of that line of thinking is targeted social programs, which specifically do not permit people the chance to mis-spend money. How would BI + strict regulation and oversight be substantially different from the entitlement programs we have today?
