It would streamline the bureaucracy because one administration would take over for the two separate programs mentioned, and because it is far easier to determine eligibility if one only requires that the person be an adult citizen than if one also has disability requirements added on, or income requirements, or any other requirements. It would be simpler and therefore easier to run. Not to mention that being simpler, it would be harder for someone to cheat the system.
In fact, though, it would take over more than just the two programs previously mentioned. It would also replace unemployment benefits. It would be much easier to deal with than the current system, and it would be better for everyone who is not rich.
