I just find it interesting because most people think this is a lefty pipe dream when most of the people backing it up are fairly right wing economically.
I think a good portion of that backing by conservatives/libertarians is because they think it would be better as a replacement for the current welfare system. On that, I quite like Caplan's comment I posted a day or so ago. It came from this article:
http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/...tarian_2.html#
In it, he basically iterates what I iterated, about how the popularity of UBI among libertarians derives from the compromise element of it. Lefties adore them some welfare, so it ain't going away and most libertarians/conservatives know it, so compromise.
