Comments to this post on Pawar's Twitter account are unanimously negative and make perfect sense - hence, being a liberal, he will pay them no mind.

[The proposal entails giving $500 a month—no strings attached—to 1,000 families in Chicago.]
No doubt a reward for a “job well done” somewhere.

I think they mean Chicago taxpayers. Chicago doesn’t have any money that isn’t stolen from somebody else.

They could give that $500,000 a month to build new schools and hire good teaches and get 100 times the return on the money invested...................

The civil servants employed by the city of Chicago call that a yearly raise with no strings attached for doing nothing too!

That would be GREAT! It would empty Denver of all the useless and homeless potheads!
Man, just imagine, every idiot headed to Chicago. No more dirty-haired, smelly, liberals in Denver. They’d all go to the freebies in Chicago.
Of course, it wouldn’t take but one election cycle to get pot legalized in Chicago. These potheads can’t do without their beloved pot.
