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.
If the Chicago media weren’t completely worthless and corrupt, the proverbial pitchforks and torches would be out for JB the Hutt and his henchmen.
If Pritzker was somehow a centrist Democrat with even a moderate sense of fiscal discipline and respect for immigration laws he’d be a popular governor with a realistic chance at higher office. But he ain’t nearly that.
B.S.! Where was that poll? Chicago/Cook county probably! Try polling the entire state and see results.
Kamala got 55% of the vote and she’s even further to the left than JB, because JB isn’t yet giving sex changes to illegal immigrants in prison. Or maybe he is, who knows? You must understand that, as a whole, Democrats, unlike Republicans, are happy with their politicians. The further to the left, the happier they are. Republicans hate their politicians and Republican politicians hate their voters. That’s why I’m confident that the poll is likely correct. I mean, I just had a guy the other day tell me that Illinois sucks but he lives here because someday in the… Read more »
They must have polled only in Cook county and the six surrounding counties because I am sure down staters aren’t for Pritzker.
Isn’t that where like the vast majority of the population lives lol
PDJT’s DOGE has received information from several whistleblower in the SSA that illegals, with no SS number, where being approved for SSDI. Pritzker and IL are in for a world of hurt as this massive SS fraud is busted. Put that in your Leftist budget numbers!
Would be nice if they looked into all the unemployment benefits that were paid out during covid and hold some people accountable.
Rush Limbaugh was famous for his ‘low information voter’ moniker for the left…
Not just that they are low information, they really have no desire to search out the truth…
They live in an echo chamber of like minded thinkers, who are oblivious to the runaway train heading right for them, with JBP at the controls…
“Low information” may be a euphemism for “too dumb to understand.” To be sure, pensions and actuaries can also be difficult for busy or impatient people to do the necessary “work” to vote intelligently. There’s another category of people who don’t vote either for or against their own self-interest. Lastly, we find the organized single-issue voters (many of whom are clever folks). These characteristics make one wonder if Churchill was right about democracy being the preferred form of government … particularly where elections are corrupted by partisans who count the vote. (And who knows what democracy even means these days?)… Read more »
Leftist Democrats are primarily a cult. ‘The Mask’ as their talisman was the biggest tell. Nearly all Democrat ‘thought leaders’ behave like cultists. Many of them engage in various forms of paganism.
Only proving that those 50% are dumber than a bag of wet hair. Or they are State and City employees riding the gravy train towards the abyss.
So now he is a fiscal conservative and looks at revenue increases only as a last resort? Is “two faced” the right description?
Does a round object have any faces?
Well, that’s unexpected and depressing.
He’s over 50% without any doubts in my mind. Over 50% of the state also voted for Kamala Harris. So OF COURSE they are happy with progressive Democrats. Which is crazy because it was only slightly more than 40% that voted for Carter in 1980. That’s why JB is not so crazy trying to appeal to his base with his nonsense progressive #Resistance. But he’s stuck in a blue bubble, an anomaly of a state surrounded by a sea of red for hundreds of miles in any direction. He thinks much of the country agrees with him just as much… Read more »
Do I believe this poll? YES! This is Illinois, a Deep Blue state that grows more so every day as we become a 3rd world population base and Whites leave. This is demographic data that can bed proved and not just a throw away statement.
Could you release methodoligies and raw data including locations of the poll?
Not a fat chance in hell he’s at 50%, maybe they got mixed up with Trump.
I was surprised by that high number, too. I’d need to see another poll validating it before I believed it.
I do know if Wirepoints did a survey poll about Pritzker on your website I think I know were he would stand.
But if anyone is going to make good on that “fat chance”, it’s Jelly Belly.
Of that 50% approval rating how many of those polled are receiving something from the state like employment/pensions or benefits/etc?
If ONLY the illegal migrants were polled what would his approval rating be?
Exactly!
No way his approval is 50%. Enough said.
The Chicagoland area is a sea of blue. I was at a Superbowl party with a bunch of [supposedly] normal people. I did not know most of the attendees’ politics. Everyone in the room audibly groaned when Trump came on the screen while the audience at the Superbowl was cheering. These are people, if they lived 50 miles in any other direction, or nearly any other state, would be Trump fans, but put them in the suburbs of Chicago and suddenly they’re like “I live in Illinois in case my 2nd grade daughter wants to abort my grandchildren two decades… Read more »
