Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Not really a surprise there, Illinois couldn’t possible stand on it’s own for much of anything. Pritzker and the Illinois Government have made Illinois totally dependent on federal funding to balance their over spending. When that doesn’t work *which is all of the time) they increase taxes on the tax payer. Same crap different day. The Illinois Dem government simply wants to distract the non-participating public into believing their simple repeating narratives.
The civil war Illinois has started won’t be ended with firearms, Illinois is already on the verge of bankruptcy (if it could). Pritzker might actually have to cut some pork and I don’t mean him just eating it. Illinois needs some hard slash funding cuts like 10-15% across the board any exceptions will have to come from some other budget. Yes PUBLIC UNION people and services will have to be cut.
