Talk about a bailout!!!! State of Illinois is 160 BILLION dollars underfunded. Their supreme court by a 7 to 1 margin said (you promised them the money, now pay them). If you reside in that state, bend over, place your wallet between your legs, & kiss it good bye. von.[/QUOT

There were talks of a Federal Court having to split the State and give parts of it to other states because there' s no way for Illinois to survive and govern. Our Indiana would only be stuck taking the Central/Eastern (rural farm) part, Thank Goodness. Wisconsin or Michigan would get stuck paying for Chicago and the North.

No state would want to take on the debit Illinois has. They have enough of their own. von.

Win the office. Raise takes enough to pay down the long term debit & current operations. Keep raising takes till the debit is paid, or, enough taxpayers flee the state forcing bankruptcy. First thing to go in ANY bankruptcy is the pension obligation. Be sure to stock up on cans of soup, ya gonna need it. von.

There are a lot of cities, counties, and states in the same sinking pension boat.This debt has to have been accumulating for decades. Former politicians knew that the calculator was overheating, yet, they just kicked it down the road, but now, there is no more road.
When the potential solution, whatever it is, is suggested, that messenger will be shot. It's going to get ugly.

Remember to include a memo with your 2019 Federal Tax return, stating where you don't want your tax dollars spent.

That's an oxymoronic statement. How can price CONTROLLING be part of DeRegulation???

That reads like you are citing wikipedia..... where people can just type their own opinion and call it facts.

Thanks for the rules. But I read wiki constantly and theres a LOT of wrong on there. Especially concerning what is defined as Politically Rightwinged in the USA. There are groups and Movements that mirror Leftist Movements, that wiki calls Rightwing, and unknowing people repeat that as Gospel because it's how wiki defines it. Wiki, and most now accepted sources claim a group that has Socialist in its name and actions is Rightwing, and that's completely illogical. Same as they claim that a group that has ALT(ernative to) in its name and its actions mimic the Left and most call it Rightwing. That too is illogical. So excuse my skepticism, please.

Like, stating that Price Controls were a part of Deregulation. Its Illogical.

El, sorry for my rant. It's not wiki's fault, and thanks for the correction.

I love to study logic. I guess it goes to show that if the World decides a dog is a cat, hes now a cat. One with canines...

jimmy, you are well aware that you have the intellectual capability along with the fortitude to post on Wikipedia and set the record straight on those items and issues you hold dear.

Further, logic prevails. The untold stories of history continue to enlighten the ignorant.

Think Paul Harvey.

And, no apologies necessary.

Paul Harvey was the ultimate professional. He always wore a suit and tie while working. He said he tried working dressed casual once. He did not feel like he was giving it his all, so he wore a suit and tie again.

If that dog has a surgery that would define it as a “trans animal” and calls itself a cat can it still pee on any fire hydrant it wants or will it now be permitted to use any cat litter box it chooses ?

And do tax payers have to pay for the surgery ?
