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.
Illinois hasn’t balanced its budgets for two decades.
If Didech could actually read, he would see that Moody’s cited the inflation exacerbating Grifter Joe Coof slush funds as the reason for the credit upgrades. That’s not policy, that’s kicking the can with Uncle Fed’s boot.

“It’s the same process that’s produced six consecutive balanced budgets.” Spoken like a true Dem. Can anyone with a straight face say these are balanced budgets?
