Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
“They (the young people of Illinois) didn’t create this pension mess. Those of us with a little gray in our hair did.”

Yes, once again, whatever you do, don’t go after by far and away the biggest reason IL has so much debt: lavish salaries, pensions, and health care benefits. Instead, keep raising taxes or creating new ones. You have to love these IL Democrats; they’re so famous for rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
