The US is rich enough that it pioneered Social Security. If we were to restructure all of the dysgentic welfare programs we have into a Social Security-like UBI that does not discourage work as welfare programs do, we would be much better off. And if some people misspend their UBI and buy crack and die early, all the better.
Even Milton Friedman suggested we could afford a Negative Income Tax in the 1970s, which is functionally very similar to UBI.
