My wife’s Central Illinois trade union carpenter-n-plumber-n-ironworker side of the family are LOL busted-up about this one.

What the apprentices want is to be able to afford to buy a reliable work truck and earn enough to buy gas for it so they can haul their equipment to job sites.

Just like a Dem to talk about something expensive for taxpayers that they like, but which doesn’t accomplish what people want.

What a tandem Illinois is burdened with in Dimwit Duckworth and Do Nothing Durbin. Tammy has a hard time stringing two words together, but when she does, she says incredibly stupid things. It’s not enough that Illinois has all this free money to dole out as a result of Biden’s disastrous socialist policies, now she wants to give everyone a ride so they can get the cash. Please stop talking Tammy. There is no reason to prove to us how stupid you are.

Our famous native son Abe Lincoln said it best about Ducky.

“Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
