UBI advocates believe that distinguishing between people who need&#x2F;deserve assistance and people who don&#x27;t need&#x2F;deserve assistance is one reason why the US is not in favor of larger social outlays, and putting a check in everyone&#x27;s hand every month will buy ironclad support from across the political spectrum.  They additionally say that welfare programs can realize tremendous reductions in cost of administration by not having to distinguish between e.g. working and non-working recipients.
