>UBI with a progressive tax is just welfare without the bureaucratic overhead.
Who says UBI replaces a single welfare program? Any support that UBI gets from the left is under the assumption that it is an ADD-ON to the existing welfare state. The people employed in the administration of the welfare programs will also fight tooth-and-nail from losing their jobs.
So UBI is just another cost on top the mountain of costs.
