Let the public pensions go bankrupt, the revise
Them to make them sustainable. Fine Democratic lawmakers for not funding them first, over lefty policies. And BTW, Get Covered IL is just a way for JB and Democrats to provide health insurance for illegal and to steal funds from.
That doesn’t work. If you let the pensions run out of money the government becomes directly liable to pensioners.
Illinoisians, The pension Racket in Taxistan will continue and your taxes will keep increasing for your lifetime.
The sooner you realize this and vote with your feet the richer you will be.
I voted with my feet over 20 years ago and my bank account is $200,000+ fatter because of my smart financial decision.

Don’t wait, get the hell out of this fiscal black hole of a state!!
