Is this not so?
As Pelosi has been known to say "You have to pass the bill to find out what is in the bill".
This is why I want the UBI to be twice the poverty level. If your not poor, why should the government have poverty programs? They can all go away. A couple with two kids could afford for one parent to stay home and apply real "Home Economics" further strengthening their position, and not just economically.
