With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

Audio and summary 
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.
Wait a minute…
“state taxpayers and philanthropists will spend $4 million on meals for migrants for the remainder of the calendar year.”
So from 01/01/2023 through 12/31/2023 the total spent will be 14.5 million (12.5 million from us taxpayers and those who gift) and 2 million from the Greater Chicago Food Depository?
After GCFD takes care of the legacy Chicago family (the old, sick and those in poverty) they have an extra of two million to spare to cover the shortfall by local and state governmental bodies?
Meals for Migrants……isn’t that special. Hmm, what kept them alive for years before they broke into our country?
With all the money spent on jumpers so they can live in tents where is the discussion about the homeless who have been on the streets for years? Here is some info about San Fran and a (not kidding) Poop hotline (311). When will Chicago get one? If you see a deuce on the sidewalk do you call the hotline and send in a photo? Look how fast our country is deteriorating. This would otherwise be funny but is not. SAD!
