Terrific and wise observation that Illinois and Chicago received their long dreamed of federal bailout via a Federal stealth handout during the Wuhan Virus crisis. This was a disgusting theft from frugal and responsible Red States to the leeches and corrupt leaders of Blue Cities and States. Worse, JB and Chicago wasted this stolen bailout and spent it on pretty much anything except pensions.

I forget who pointed it out to me. There are a bunch of “buyer beware” signs on this deal.
