A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
If inflation drives up other prices it only makes sense that the cost of government would also rise. Too bad Chicago doesn’t follow the same strategy. Now they will beg for more money from the state because they weren’t fiscally responsible by raising taxes to the maximum allowable.
Ironically, the cost of government is what causes inflation in the first place.
So true.
“TAX to the MAX” Illinois’ new and old slogan. Should be on every state flag. Also tee shirts.
