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.
Another Democrat gift – given by a city that can ill-afford the programs (giveaways) already in place.
Giveaways take from taxpayers pockets and put money in someone else’s. Always realize, the government doesn’t make money, instead it takes hard-earned money from taxpayers and distributes it willy-nilly.
Government support for the elderly, disabled or sick is not the issue, it’s the push to give more and more support to people who don’t need it. These programs create a government dependency that is unhealthy for the beneficiaries as well as taxpayers.
When does it end?
Need it, or are unwilling to go out and work for it on their own…
Nutty. My clock, to get out of this state, started ticking when Jabba the Plumber… I mean Jabba the Masker, I mean Jabba the poor kid who grew up with adversity, became Gubnah.
Illinois and Chicago are the poster children for grift, graft, and outright theft by our elected officials. Oh, and don’t forget abject stupidity.
Uh oh, sounds like we need universal free computers and internet service so we can give away free money.
Seriously…
