Unbalanced comparisons.

Basic income frees people to do private work. Government projects, to be comparable, would have to pay people for their work, as you know,and also add a premium to cover the time spent.

Basic income and government spending on projects are separate ideas that are only related because they compete for budget.

The point is that if BI people also work, BI and fixing infrastructure are not competing for resources. We can have our cake and eat it too.
