Completely sickening….list of astronomical failings. But also left out from Marys list,– Illinois has been approved for highest in nation–$10 +billion, if needed , federal loan $ for unemployment compinsation. Which if used would all have to be paid back. Illinois is still paying back federal loan $ for unemployment from 2008…..all jb & the gang can possibly hope for at this point is not only hope dems take presidency but also senate in november..beyond that its go for broke/ mmt theory debt don’t matter drive us off a cliff
When Dante wrote “The 9 circles of Hell” he was probably thinking about Illinois. They are Limbo (taxpayers state of mind and wallets)-Lust-Gluttony-Greed (you know who)- Anger(definitely taxpayers)-Heresy-Violence (most of Chicago)-Fraud (you know who again)-and Treachery.
I started crying when I read this article.
