A comment on Universal Basic Income Is Not Feasible.
“Thoughtful liberals and conservatives trained in economics are almost universally against the idea.” –Kent Smetters
Another article makes a different claim:
"Top Economists Endorse Universal Basic Income"

So is Kent Smetters wrong, or is Forbes citing people who are not actually "top economists", or maybe not even "trained in economics"?
