UBI also requires more automation and productivity. As it is the US can barely pay its obligations, which happens in part on the back of the usd as a reserve currency. Watch and see what happens when that changes, some 5-10 yrs from now.

The US has no problem paying for anything in actuality. The rich suck the reserves dry and create a completely different economic outlook. Taxes are waaay too low. And they won't even pay the tax that is too low. Capitalism doesn't work. UBI within capitalism is fascism. So many are begging for it.
