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.
Can someone identify the supposed legislative accomplishments of Senator Durbin? Long tenure, and no legacy achievements. He’s constantly chortling about “rights” for his #1 interest: immigration reform to benefit his illegal alien favored constituency, and ignores the “bread and butter” issues of Illinois, like pension reform, like infrastructure reconstruction funding, like state residents’ onerous tax burden. His only successful real “action” has been getting Senator Duckworth, an even less effective senator, elected to her seat, to the further detriment of his voter-base. Both keep their chairs warm, but as party hacks.
Interesting…..a true and tried racist talking about canceling racism! Someone needs to ask ole DICK what he has done for Illinois over the past 38 years…….Zero Point Zero!
I’d like to cancel my subscription to Dick Durbin. Of course we can do better Dick! But we have 330 million people in this country, not to mention all the illegals you want to let in that have no means of supporting themselves. And you then question why bad things happen. What a posturing bag of manure DD is. He mentions 4 names, and then says it happens daily. He’s not very good with numbers, or anything else. Just retire already Dick.
Unfortunately those who come after the evil Dick will be even crazier than he is.
He’s been in Washington since 1983. Does he even visit the state anymore?
And Chase is correct – whomever replaces him will be even crazier. AOC type crazy.
He is locked up in his chambers in the capitol and figures that everyone else are his underlings–ie just like lard boy.
