-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
JB has risen the state budget 20% on EACH TERM, I suspect the same on next.
I wouldn’t doubt it. Inflation alone should cause a large increase in spending.
Two-thirds of my property tax goes to the school district. The school district I’m in has had a steady declining enrollment for years, yet the same staffing still. Also the school district has plenty of taxpayer money to pay all of the teachers required pension contribution, plus state of the art HS athletic facilities, and on and on. There is absolutely no meaningful accountability in the school district for spending control. Pritzker and the supermajority Democrats could have easily provided leadership to control K-12 spending and thus hold the line on property taxes.
There is meaningful accountability. It’s the municipal elections that come every two years where only 20% of the city votes, and 90% of them are hard core far-far-far left progressives. So they win.
With the deficits at the State and City level and soon to be the county level, they are obviously not high enough. Since most lemmings are not particularly upset, they can and must go much higher. Don’t worry, it’s all for a good cause. You know the kids. Yeah, the kids that can’t read or write at grade level which is most of them.
And get some of the countries worse services.
