The governor said he couldn’t provide an exact number of layoffs, but said it would be thousands. “Five percent is not a small number,” he said, urging Congress and President Donald Trump to take action.

Budgeting is the art of allocating scarce financial resources. Pritzker, having been born into the financial upper 1% of households, has no real experience of budgeting like his constituent’s families in the private sector do. To Pritzker it’s all about more taxes and fees and if that doesn’t work just borrow some more. Those borrowings’ have to be paid off but Pritzker probably can not understand that because in his billionaire lifestyle he has never had to face making a payment. The irrational edicts are killing the economy but to Pritzker, it is just another board game of Monopoly.

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.
