The biggest obstacles to substantive change in IL, are Madigan & Cullerton. Until their both gone, nothing will change.
In the meantime, let it burn. |

I'm on a state jobsite right now unloading materials out of the job. No pay, no play. I'm sure in a week or so, I'll be back loading the job back up. Around and around it goes.....

Somebody explain to me how Illinois' situation is any different than the federal gubermint's situation.
Both have spent funds they have no way of paying back...yet they just keep on spending and somebody keeps fronting them more credit. Incidentally, they're 'Illini' and not 'Illinoisians'. I guess you get what you pay for.

A few things of note: 1) What happens with Puerto Rico will set precedent for what happens to Illinois (and later Pennsylvania, etc.). 2) We cannot allow, in any shape or form, a federal bailout of state obligations. 3) Financial reality trumps all, even the Illinois state constitution. If there is no money, there's no fucking money; you cant wish your way around it. Eventually pensions will be cut through a forced bankruptcy proceeding much like Puerto Rico. |

The Chicago dems hate having a republican governor. They're refusing to give him a balanced budget and blaming him for the mess(for not accepting their "comprehensive budget solution"), in hopes of getting a dem governor elected next year. It's all about the vote, I hope it backfires on them.

They can double every single tax in this state and it still wouldn't fix the issue. This is what happens when you kick the can down the road for decades and promise shit that's just mathematically impossible. Fuck this state . I hope Chicago burns and all the libtards with their $500k homes and condos are forced to sell for nothing as they flee the state.

My friend worked as a crane operator in Chicago in the union. He just retired on the West Coast of Florida at the age of 55 collecting about 60 K or more per year.
Dumb ass politicians who are supposed to represent the people never put in any type of clause about retiring and staying in the state. I hear that lotto winners may not get paid. Ha ha. |

It's a clusterfuck for sure.....I'm sure my taxes will be going up any day now.
They need to be cutting the social programs and all politician salaries. I have a friend who works for Eastern Illinois University who has medical insurance through the state. She's been denied appointments by 2 different doctors unless she paid cash upfront, because they know they won't get paid. It's fucking ridiculous and it sits squarely with Madigan and his goons. Illinois needs to push Cook county into the lake.....then we'd have a chance of having a decent state.....
