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.
Nice to see Trump accounts as an alternative to these plans for those starting out.
His family owned a bank where he worked. The bank failed. Isn’t that enough evidence? The markets are soaring. Illinois monies should be soaring as well. People get fired for financial misdeeds. So should Gianoullias. Must be a member of the Mayor Johnson Stupid Club!
If youre dumb enough to give the state your money to pay for college at a later date, you deserve everything you get. A 5% tax break isn’t worth the loss.
It all depends on the state. Stupid state like Illinois or smart state like VA.
Not sure Alexi knows squat about finances. Can any one ever recall a real job that he has had? If you spend your entire life living off an allowance from mommy and daddy, why bother yourself with learning anything difficult– like how to manage money. So who put this guy in a position to manage hundreds of millions?
He didn’t earn the moniker “ Alexi the Bankrupter “ for nothing.
Kinda like the job experience Mr Jumbo, the governor, had.
