But the EBT/WIC/gubmint cheese? That's still good.

They are probably still voting for Hillary in an effort to stave off the implosion.

Does this mean Ann Margaret isn't coming?

IL has been in same boat and crying chicken little for decades. They'll get more loans in nick of time, breathe sigh of relief and move on doing the same thing.

Read between the lines, she's saying massive taxes will be put in place. Like hell any of those programs get cut or even scaled back so bend over IL.

It started before Morton Grove, but that bullshit was the first time in my young life I realized how fucked up a state, city, town could become.
Illinois democrats doing democrat things. Which is an easy segue into FBHO!

Funny because we're already taxed like hell on everything and they can't seem to budget that right. What good are more taxes when the funds are misappropriated?

Your state doesn't have a spending problem, they have a lack of revenue problem. Why worry about budgets when you can simply take more for the tax payers.

DEMOCRATS

The public definition of misappropriated and politican definition are polar opposites - especially in Illinois.

Nothing will happen other than some sort of last minute fix

Will Trump refuse such a bailout unless Madigan caves to Rauner's proposed reforms?
Will Trump remember that Rauner didn't back him in the election, and tell them all to get fucked anyways?

Im glad we moved to IN a few years ago, but my wife is a teacher just over the border in IL.

Getting desperate running out of rich folk and middle class to tax. Not a mention of cutting free bennies to the FSA

Posted: 6/29/2017 8:33:25 AM EDT

[#27]

Some of the things not touched;
Politician salaries
unemployment
EBIT, SNAP, welfare, section 8 housing.
Plowing money into universities for any liberal agenda
any service provided by a brother in law
salaries of ghost employees
countless others.

Does this mean there will be even fewer gas stations open between 1a-6a near an interstate in rural areas? Because that doesn't hardly seem possible.

Left that shithole in 1982 and have not looked back. Second bst decision in my life, the first being the woman I married.

Make shitcago a city state. IL would be fine without that city.

Posted: 6/29/2017 8:47:17 AM EDT

[#34]

concur with Sherrick. Cut it out as a city state and let the rest of the state recover on its own. We should do the same with:

Denver & Boulder in Colorado.
San Francisco. Secede it from the nation.
Lost Angeles.
Boston.
Philadelphia.

Jim Fisher thinks they're going to pass a budget he just can't see them shooting themselves that much in the foot, I on the other hand think they will not pass a budget and they will go on and on and on until bankruptcy

Let It Burn

She is a f...ing genious. "It is just a matter of dollars and cents." WOW! Finally figured out they ran out of everyone else's dollars and cents.

She's insinuating that "a budget" will fix everything. LOL

This is why politicians need regular tarring and feathering.

Nothing will happen.

The solution to their situation is to borrow more money.

Translation: We need more taxes coupled with minimal and insignificant spending cuts.

Remember when Warren Buffet was complaining that he wasn't taxed enough?

Why not have him write the Comptroller a check for a billion or two? Have a couple more billionaire types who are always banging on about progressive bullshit do the same. Put their money where their big mouths are.
