Some Chicago families could start collecting a $1,000 check every month with no strings attached. That's the new proposal from a task force created by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
The idea is to break the cycle of poverty. The pilot program would give 1,000 struggling Chicagoans $1,000 a month.

[From economicsecurityil.org: Guaranteed income policies are a bold and innovative approach to ensuring a basic quality of life and dignity for all people, addressing both entrenched poverty and changes to the nature of work such as automation. These programs provide regular payments of cash, or income, to people with no eligibility requirements or conditions on how that money must be spent—it is guaranteed.]

Stupid is as stupid does...Socialism/Communism at work with our tax dollars.

It is a very simple plan to destroy what little is left of decency in the United States.
The Country has become an insane asylum.
The government lies every single day about every single thing.
Now this plan is simple currency destruction at its finest.
The US Dollar will be worthless (already is, but most people still have faith in it) when everybody has plenty of them. Bottom line: if it is free, it is by definition, not worth any thing. It is worth zero. Nothing. It is free. Get it? The price inflation will be horrific almost immediately.
Think about it for a few minutes.
It is crazy.
Northwest Woodsman: We all know who the struggling Chicagoans are. Am I correct?
Rents just went up $1000 per month.
"break the cycle of poverty..." ??
What they need to do is break the necks of politicians who keep giving away OUR money.
You work. They take.
And millions cheer.
It's UNBELIEVABLE.
Free money is very addictive, it's hard and sometimes impossible to get off of.Democrats just keep coming up with that stupid crap to buy votes. What was it Lyndon Johnson said "I'll have those ni&&ers voting Democrat for the next hundred years".
