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.
Great comments.
Homeless problem? A good first step would be secure the border while deporting the hordes already here
Won’t solve the whole problem, but might be a good start.
Social engineering gave Chicago “affordable housing” with Cabrini Green and the projects … what are they planning for us now? More of the same?
Homelessness has NOTHING to do with affordable housing and everything to do with mental illness, drug addiction and alcoholism. Most homeless choose to be homeless so that they can do what shelters won’t let them do: take drugs and drink. State run insane asylums are the answer. Up until the early 1980’s every state had such a program until Ronald Reagan rightly said: “why is the federal government paying for this local issue?”He cut federal funding and handed it over to the states……..who folded and failed to pay for this clearly local issue. And here we are.
Real estate prices shot up because of low interest rates, which encouraged reckless borrowing, pumping more money into the economy, which causes inflation, causing people to borrow more money at low interest rates to keep the party going. The Fed is nearly 100% responsible for the lack of affordable housing.
