Exactly so how is he helping these people?
If anything the money will be wasted. Instead of forcing it to go towards housing or food (yes I'm aware people sell their benefits) now it will definitely be wasted.
There's a reason these people are poor and it's foolish to think giving them money instead of benefits will help them out.
1) it encourages them to find meaningful work because now those governments assistance programs are no longer tied to them not working
2) it reduces bureaucracy and inefficiencies.
3) with the rise of automation, we will need basic income
4) our society is in the decline. Life expectancy has dropped every year for the last 3 years. We need to support our own people.
