Is this universal basic income, over and above, and on top of, all the public assistance benefits that these people receive?

Don’t we already have the social safety net, so that everyone in need gets some basic minimal level of public assistance?

Or do they want to give poorer people extra money?

Where is financially strapped Chicago going to get this money to pay this UBI?

Debt-plagued Chicago becomes latest blue stronghold to consider free 'basic income'

No need to ask where it comes from because it's free. It dropped down out of the heavens like manna.

“Where is financially strapped Chicago going to get this money to pay this UBI?”

From the police and fire pension debts and doubling real estate taxes.

Forced sterilization of those on welfare would solve Chicagos’ problems, but the politicians would be against it.....
