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.
Whats next. A nice plot of land in S Barrington?
The only thing guaranteed with this tripe is a tax increase.
Make no mistake – This new IL taxpayer largesse is primarily targeted to illegal aliens.
Illegitimacy is the number one risk factor for poverty.
The Illinois’ political animal solution? Encourage more illegitimacy through subsidy.
So $4,500 to knock out an unwanted, unaffordable child, then take a breather and get ready to repeat the process shortly after the payments run out. Fold your tents and call it a day folks, we in IL have been beaten.
How about mandatory birth control for Medicaid moms? Or Medicaid cap of an amount payment of so much for 1 child, so much for 2 or more. Sick of paying for Medicaid moms getting paid for 6 kids. They want more than 2 kids, Medicaid mom can pay for them, or use birth control.
Who will” THEY “ TAX to get the money 💰 to fund this ??? WTF .
They will tell you that they will tax the “other guy” but ultimately anyone with any assets or a job will end up paying. They want to redistribute income and the majority of the voters seem to love this philosophy.
A perfect example of tone-deaf Democrat-led legislation. The state is broke, it owes $143.5 billion to the pensions fund, and they keep coming up with new ways to spend money. Ted Dabrowski for Governor-you’re our only hope!
From age 16-33 she could make it a full time job “screwing” the taxpayers.
1500
3,000 (500×6)
4500 bucks on top of whatever other freebies the state hands out to the underserved and illegal “newcomers” truly ridiculous
Maybe nice, but how are they going to pay for it?
Illinois is broke, largest debt of any state, and democrats just keep digging.
Any bill to increase spending should also require eliminating something else of equivalent costs.
The proposal might be sensible if it included compensatory cuts in other areas. Somehow Illinois Dep’t of Public Health hasn’t got around to updating their birth statistics, but if there are 128,000 births/year, that’d cost $576 million.annually. This is hardly more than the cost of rebuilding an existing functional ‘L’ station. And a lot more useful.
This is absolutely getting comical and ridiculous, like DJT said these people are crazy.
