With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
JB is not in good shape!
Yeah JB, get out and stick your soft, supple fist in the air with the collective making the Marxist salute. You, like crackpot Bernie, are another millionaire socialist and about as believable as the Little Boy that cried Wolf.
Which tragedy haunts the poor man ? Hearing that his favorite nanny was leaving or watching on the news his favorite Dunkin Donuts burn down?
One doesn’t grow rich running a business the way Pritzker and the democrats have long run IL. One runs a business into the ground.
There is absolutely nothing heroic about Pritzker(s). Hero’s don’t rip out toilets from a spare mansion to scam +$200,000 from local taxes, particularly when they are multi-billionares. Hero’s don’t cavalierly double gasoline taxes on everyone just so they can have a slush fund. Hero’s don’t smugly sign off on unearned and unwarranted increased compensation for a bloated public union class, further crushing heavily burderdend taxpayers. JB Pritzker is only a ‘hero’ to Leftist Democrats filled with corruption.
I’d like to know if the Pritzker’s have any involvement in NGOs?
This is a guy who has unlimited wealth and is just looking for a spot to be relevant. Wealth due to family, not own efforts. Bored. Remember when he was begging for any political office? Senator, AG, SofS? While he lost both parents early, he had a huge support system to cushion him. Calling him an orphan? Couldn’t stand reading whole article, but was there any discussion about IL financial mess? Billions in debt, population and business loss, or just his heroic defenses against Trump?
Agreed! Many other people have experienced similar tragedies with MUCH less support and never turned around and screwed his fellow man like this $%^& has!
I’m mad that the article was not behind the usual NYT paywall. I lost my dinner reading that. The hypocrisy from JB is amazing.
lol-trumps duplicity and hypocrisy make all others pale in comparison yet the same people who call out politicians like pritzker completely ignore the countless, far worse crimes against humanity routinely inflicted by their emperor.
This love letter penned by DNC typist Lulu Garcia-Navarro was difficult to read, as the distinct stench of schite would fill the room every time I opened it on my screen. I wasn’t sure if it were the subject matter, America’s worst governor JB the Hutt, or just that I opened up a New York Slimes article. Reading Lulu’s lulus, you’d think that JB the Hutt actually had to take a real job at some point in his especially cushioned life or had the slightest clue the damage his leftist policies have done to Illinois taxpayers. He didn’t and he… Read more »
Brace for more of the same. NYT and JB are made for each other.
“A lifetime of access to virtually unlimited funds has left The Hutt with no clue how to restrain spending”
and how many trillions has the national deficit increased under the trump regime?
Far less than the trillions spent on a failed enabling program in place since 1964. How much of our debt is also a direct result of sending money overseas for foolish social services? How much springs from China’s gift to the world, covid , and the resulting chaos? How much is accounted for by inviting and allowing 10-15 million people with no jobs skills needing food, shelter and medical care into the country? How much went to crooked, fraudulent health care and “ lering center” scams perpetrated by foreigners? Answers please, if you can put your irrational hatred of Trump… Read more »
Far less than the rampant spending of the Autopen-in-chief years.
Try to keep up.
