UBI will worsen inflation and exacerbate income inequality. Many are financially illiterate and behave irresponsibly even with their own hard-earned money, much less taxpayer's. The money printing for all the pandemic stimmies demonstrated this. Now we in the U.S. have double-digit inflation. UBI will be a disaster. It will increase cost of living, necessitating the need for more UBI. An endless, vicious cycle that will only serve the politicians, who will promsie more to get elected.

Why is the focus always on handing out more money and not trying to make the cost of living lower? You do that by reducing government manipulation schemes., which only create unsustainable bubbles. The government, in the last 20 years, has inflated the housing market and the student loan bubble. That's why Millennials can't afford homes and are living with parents into their 30s. It's why college costs skyrocketed. Government intervention has artificially driven up values.

Furthermore, UBI will not stop people from making personal/financial mistakes that keep them poor--many of which are self-inflicted. In fact, it will make them worse, as people will act foolishly because they have UBI as a "safety net." But as statistics show, poverty stems largely from having children out of wedlock, not graduating high school, or committing crimes. UBI has nothing to do with that. and will not fix those things.
