Commentary: Gov. JB Pritzker’s budget does little to help Black and brown Illinoisans – Chicago Tribune*

Willie Wilson: "Black and brown residents do not need play-it-safe budgets. They need budgets that transform communities and lead to entrepreneurship and investment in education, trade programs, jobs, health care and homeownership. Budgets that guarantee safe neighborhoods free of gun violence, smash-and-grab robberies and assaults."

Read the whole article behind paywall. Wilson points out how many blacks between 16 and 30 unemployed. Does that mean government should create make work jobs? Or does it mean that the poor education by CTU has created generations of uneducated black students that are not employable? Chickens coming home to roost? That is what the ruling class has done to black people.

$30,000 per year per student and they have zero job skills except criminal. The city is going to have to live with decades of crime created by the CTU & CPS. They did not care about education and have stolen the future from so many young people. The quality of life for so many has gone down thanks to their greed for money and benefits and not about education.

$1 for one years access to the Tribune? My ohh my is that sad. Needless to say $1 is still to much for me to pay that liberal rag.

Can’t tell you how, but there are ways of gettIng behind paywall of Trib, Times, Daily Herald without paying a single dollar to the Trib. All three papers are loaded with St Jesse Jackson news, ICE abuses, climate change, love for Pritzker, and Trump horror stories. Don’t worry, keeping that buck in my pocket, not the Tribs.

No fooling. And black politicians go along with Pritzker and are equally to blame.

Black and Brown people have been in the pockets of the democrats for decades and they are worse now than ever. But apparently black and brown people are not smart enough to put two and two together. Useful morons are the power base of the democrat party. Without idiots and losers there would be no democrat party.

I like Willie Brown. I do. He has to know that Illinois has had ‘transformative’ budgets for decades now. Billions and billions of dollars spent. The only thing ‘transformed’ is the bank accounts of political animals and their friends and pals.

Illinois needs less of this ‘transformation’, not more. The state can’t afford its current level of ‘transformation’. Deep down, Willie Wilson knows this is true.
