Heard this on the news.

https://bigthink.com/stephen-johnson/chicago-is-considering-running-a-universal-basic-income-experiment

"The proposal, introduced by Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar, would create a small-scale UBI experiment that gives 1,000 families $500 per month with no strings attached, and would also change the Earned Income Tax Credit for participating families to give them monthly payments instead of a lump sum. At least several dozen lawmakers have endorsed the proposal so far."

More at link. Question was posed: "Who's going to pay for it?" Ans. People who pay income and property taxes in IL. Or any taxes to IL. Like me.
