RUSH: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is implementing a pilot program that\u2019s become a huge fad in liberal circles. The program will hand out $1,000 — $1,000 checks — to selected Chicago recipients every month, with no strings attached.<\/p>\n

The handout is called \u201cUniversal Basic Income.\u201d UBI. It\u2019s supposed to \u201cbreak the cycle of poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Chicago will pay for the new welfare handouts with \u201ccity funds.\u201d In other words, UBI money is coming from unsuspecting taxpayers. Now, according to news reports, cash will also come from \u201cphilanthropic dollars.\u201d Translation: Chicago\u2019s UBI is getting in on the liberal nonprofit gravy train: Big money from the big far-left activist organizations.<\/p>\n

Now, this scam — uh, sorry,  social welfare experiment — has been tried before. In January 2017, Finland adopted a UBI program. But after two years of not \u201cbreaking the cycle of poverty,\u201d it was shut down. Finland admitted that it failed.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what Chicago\u2019s harebrained UBI plan is destined to do. It\u2019ll also fail, because socialism never works.<\/p>\n

No matter what you call it, no matter how you disguise it, no matter how you try it, it blows up on you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
