With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
And half goes back to the democrats in political contributions!!
Reminder that hundreds of similar organizations get state funding totaling billions of dollars, with almost no oversight. This is a massive scandal that will unfold gradually.
Non profits should be eliminated. Period.
Ahem. No.
It appears that rather than correct their problem (of not filing required tax returns for three years) they simply changed their name and filed as a new entity. Their website doesn’t identify who runs the organization or who is employed by the organization. It’s basically a “big bucket of money” given to a non-compliant group of mysterious people who will spend 90% of their budget on big salaries for five people and 10% on yoga sessions. If Illinois stopped funding NGOs our financial problems would be on the way to gone. Start saving by defunding this shell group.
One of the other tricks used in state appropriations is to use somewhat different names for the same organization, hiding how much is going to them.
No more taxpayer money for non profits. They’re all scams and a way for Democrats to get money. Non profits should fundraise so that only people who agree with their goals pay, not taxpayers
State lawmakers voted to spend $55 billion in a year, passing a bill they had not even had time to read. It would take too long to read, assuming they could even understand it. What could possibly go wrong? Equity! Affordability!
The entirety of Democrat budgets are a grift. It’s Tammany Hall all over again. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours and we’ll make Republicans pay for it all.
