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.
Getting really tired of foreign lineage politicians pushing the failed policies of their native countries in America. If we wanted a country like India, Pakistan, Somalia etc. we would move there.
Hey democrats, FU no more taxes.
Don’t worry folks. It’s impossible for this plan to be implemented. I’m told that Illinois is already the highest taxed state in the union and it’s impossible for the state to raise taxes any further. Nothing to see here.
It’s a small tax, but it has almost no chance of passing anyway. Pritzker doesn’t like it. Also, I would agree with commenters on here that IL can’t raise taxes significantly anymore. They will be forced into doing significant cuts in time, perhaps much more.
Of all the stupid ideas to come up with…with all of the financial problems the state has…with all of the enormous taxes the citizens of Illinois are burdened with….this is what these morons come up with?! Spend more money, create another useless department, more government hires and pensions to give away yet more and more tax payer money on entitlement programs. Could we please focus people!! Good God.
This, without any doubt, is one of the dumbest ideas to come out of Springfield in years. And, with the state lawmaker’s history of proposing stupid ideas, says volumes.
