What to do with a Broken Illinois:


Posted: Jun 22, 2017

Gotta wonder if this is why BO and MO don't want to live there anymore... Article from Chicago Tribune: Illinois is like Venezuela now, a fiscally broken state that has lost its will to live, although for the moment, we still have enough toilet paper. But before we run out of the essentials, let's finally admit that after decade upon decade of taxing and spending and borrowing, Illinois has finally run out of other people's money.

Illinois - mess

[ In Reply To ..]
I've put up with this BS for decades now and have lived in Illinois my whole life (crooked Chicago politicians, governor after governor from Chicago, all crooks). My answer to solving the financial mess here is for Chicago to secede from Illinois altogether and be a state on to its own nasty self.

Illinois SB 2386Jul 24, 2013
passed into law on July 28, 2004, co-sponsored by then Senator Barack Obama. The text summary reads: “Provides that it is an affirmative defense to a violation of a municipal ordinance that prohibits, regulates or restricts the private ownership of firearms if the individual who is charged with the violation used the firearm in an act of self-defense or defense of another. Effective immediately.” Guess his position has "evolved" since then. ...

Illinois Is The Obamacare Of The United States. It's BankruptJun 22, 2017
The company that runs the multi-state MegaMillions and Powerball lotteries announced that it was pulling out of the state of Illinois. Why? Because the state bankrupt. It's had a century of almost uninterrupted rule by a corrupt Democrat machine, and can no longer be relied upon to actually pay lotto winners. Blame Blagojevich and the pension plan. All the money that is collected in taxes in Illinois now goes to pay pensions, so the state just raised taxes. I am so disgusted with Illino ...

Broken ToeDec 23, 2009
I ran into a vacuum cleaner this morning when I was walking fast down my hallway and think I broke my little toe.  It hurt like the dickens then, but I've done that lots before and figured it would stop hurting shortly.  It has not stopped.  It is continuing to ache deeply and I can't bear weight.  It's blue in color and swollen, but not swollen very much.  I don't think there's anything a doctor will do for a broken toe.  What does anyone s ...

Broken Arms From Patting ThemselvesApr 09, 2011

I'm having a bad day.  I hate birthdays, just mean that I'm getting older.  The bloom is off the rose.  Glory days far behind me now.  Happy as a mom, though. My cat has been gone for three days and I'm not having a good feeling about his return.  Don't know how to tell my 10yo of Pete's possible demise. Then, a simple cheese cracker breaks my tooth -- nice.  Just gets better and better. I sort of feel like working to take my mind of ...

The beauty of Trump "policy"--You can just take a different side to an issue to suit whatever your purpose is whenever you want to.  Totally brilliant, don't you think? I am not sure what the religious right will think, though, now that Trump is distancing himself from taking away the rights of gay people.   During the campaign, Trump told social conservatives to “trust” him to oppose same-sex marriage, said he would “strongly consider” appointing U.S. Sup ...

Now they're reporting on the meeting with Putin.Guess nothing that goes on in this country is relevant.  ...
