It seems like leaving old age social security alone for old people leaves a far higher chance of this being passable (and is arguably more fair). But don't give them BI on TOP of it by any means.
42 million people receive the type of social security you get for being old and having paid in. This takes the number of people you'd need to pay BI to from 320 million to 278 million.
It reduces the cost of social security on the federal government by 23% of the SS budget(814B) to count out a beneficiaries who aren't retired we save saved: $187 billion dollars
Between taking retirees off the roles, and this savings from knocking out disability, we're down to a total required revenue of 3.3 trillion, and a savings of 187 billion dollars in cut programs.
So find that other 3.113 trillion dollars and we're in business :D
