-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Gov. JB Pritzker will propose investing $10 million of federal funds to erase more than $1 billion in medical debt for Illinois residents. It follows the lead of Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle who in 2022 created the Cook County Medical Debt Relief Initiative with funding from the American Rescue Plan Act — using $12 million in federal funds with the potential of erasing up to $1 billion in medical debt. And now others are taking notice.
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.
Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

I will pay your debts of if you vote for me and Joe.
How nice and where will you get the money sir?
Why the taxpayers of course.
Why even bother paying your bills anymore, makes no sense to.
My thoughts are the people that pay their bills are leaving the state and are being replaced by those seeking to join the free stuff army. Pritzker’s handing out of freebies, at taxpayer expense, will look good for his Presidential run when he can promise freebies for everyone. Naturally should that unfold it will leave the State in financial shambles but that will be the remaining taxpayers problem. Pritzker wants headlines and he will step on the entire State to get them.
Agreed. More freebies/vote buying. And very statist. Government takeover and more bureaucracy everywhere — the stuff that’s not working for anybody.
