That's the thing about the Universal Basic Income, the "controversy" is always phrased in terms of: "Oh but will this really help people?" or "Oh, but people will just sit and do nothing and that's not good" and always carefully avoids: "Hey, who will pay for all of this?"

I have never witnessed a single discussion about basic income where "Hey, who will pay for all of this?" isn't practically the first question out of everyone's mouth. Stop framing the discussion as underhanded/deceptive.
