Ted Dabrowski was on AM 560’s The Morning Answer talking about how states’ 2020 revenues were far better than expected and why that makes Pres. Biden’s $350 billion bailout completely unneeded, the damage that closed schools – from Chicago to Deerfield and beyond – continue to inflict on students, and how reformers can save Illinois when the state’s math finally fails.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
While this new advisory referendum could be nothing more than a political distraction, it could also be that lawmakers are gauging Illinoisans’ appetite for another bite at a progressive income tax hike – this time with lower property taxes as a sweetener.
At $1.5 million per job, the new incentive package from the state is at least 15 times the norm. For this much money, the state could have just handed out a million bucks to 827 people, instead of creating 550 jobs.

Sorry you won’t agree, but I’m sick of hearing about how the national debt matters. I am a Ron Paul/Rothbard libertarian and you know what? I want “free” healthcare, free college education, reparations for blacks, native Americans etc. I want UBI.

Very good Doug, finished a book called the controlled demolition of the American empire and what you stated is what the book is about. Washington and it’s house of terrorist could give a damn about you and me, $1,400 is chump change just throwing us a bone.
Its a joke. Our economy, political system, the media coverage. It’s all set up to keep money flowing up to the swells and away from us. Health care? As long as they’ve got theirs, and they don’t have to look at you, they do t really care if you are healthy or not. George Carlin was a smart man.
