    Chicago plans $1000 a month handouts, no strings attached

    Here it is.

    Some Chicago families could start collecting a $1,000 check every month with no strings attached.

      Seems like a lot of money. Food and rent must really be high in that area. Wouldn't have thought hot dogs over a camp fire and a double-wide refrigerator box under a bridge overpass would cost that much money. Oh well! Guess it just takes more money to live fine in those high dollar cities. Sincerely. bruce.

        This sounds like the brilliance of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. I wonder if any of this is federal money that could and should be cut off. If the state has this kind of money it seems to me they could put it to better use dozing the vacant dilapidated buildings.

          They'll raise taxes thus driving more people out of Illinois or out of their homes and into boxes under a bridge. Typical machine politics. Rahms way of establishing his own personal legacy before vacating office.

            I wouldn't move to Chicago for $1,000/day.

              Once again, how is it that we have to give money to people who won't work? What happens if we won't pay?

                Knowing Chicago, most of that money will go to people whose address is in a cemetery.

                    A poor excuse for the vaunted "Living Wage". More bull$hit and theft from the dems.

                      You know the motto of the Democrat Party, "Who robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on Paul's vote."

                        Nothing wrong with a living wage so long as it's earned and the local economy can handle it.
                        The problem comes when it's dictated by blanket law and paid to people who didn't bother to learn some skills along the way.

                          Forced socialism with no one having a say in it.
