Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
At some point Chicago taxpayers will be broke enough that they will realize who is doing this to them. When you put Pritzker, Lori, and 50 Democrat aldermen in office, you obviously are not to that point yet. It is hard to imagine how many more gut punches to the pocketbook they will take before they wake up. Sorry it is happening, but who can feel sorry for them doing this to themselves.
