My primary concern with UBI is not the concept itself, but the risk for people in power to use it against the people.
Once UBI exists, people will rely on it for survival. It will be the single most influential campaign topic.
Worse, if UBI were to get 'Obamacared' then we'd end up with a massive battle over implementation, followed by a much worse system than the one we had prior (worst of all worlds with numerous 'compromises'), and then followed by a repeal and whatever subsequent chaos comes out of it.
I don't want to imagine what would happen to the folks who find themselves reliant on UBI if it were to go down that path.
