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.

Like they aren’t broke enough already........

Ah, the Declaration of Dependance!

[CMailBag]

Predicting that the next 1,000,000, not selected will riot...

[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.

Illinois has huge pension debt. Add these grifters getting free income?? What happens when the money runs out?

[Red Badger]

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...................

[mjp]

paying people to not work,
what could possibly go wrong?

[FlingWingFlyer]

What’s up with the numbers? Who signed this, a hockey team?

[SkyDancer]

Paid from and by the taxpayers - will increase property taxes to pay for it.

[Artemis Webb]

Emanuel will veto it. He’s corrupt, not stupid.

Well, I think it’s a good idea... The old joke about gathering flies come to mind.. :)

[EagleUSA]

ANYTHING to buy votes. Democrat insane madness.

[Dr. Sivana]

Now, why didn’t they have this when I was going to college there?!

[CodeToad]

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.

How can UBI be universal, even within the confines of Chicago? Is Chicago now going to print its own money? And if it did, how long would it be before $1Chicago would be worth less than $.01US ? I can
t imagine it ever getting past pilot program status and a pilot program is not sufficient to destroy Chicago while it raises the City high on the Faux Virtue scale.

[DannyTN]

Well it’s a declining cost in Chicago. If they offered free funerals for gunshot victims, they might be in trouble.

[cranked]

Bankruptcy impending......

I can tell you this, next month that won’t be near enough money... And you have the next mount, and the next....

[chuckee]

Well, at least, buying minority voters in Chicago will now have some transparency.
