That's $50 Kass

  • Illinois is like Venezuela now, a fiscally broken state that has lost its will to live, although for the moment, we still have enough toilet paper. But before we run out of the essentials, let's finally admit that after decade upon decade of taxing and spending and borrowing, Illinois has finally run out of other people's money. Those "other people" include taxpayers who've abandoned the state. And now Illinois faces doomsday.

    So as the politicians meet in Springfield this week for another round of posturing and gesturing and blaming, we need a plan. And here it is:

    Dissolve Illinois. Decommission the state, tear up the charter, whatever the legal mumbo-jumbo, just end the whole dang thing. We just disappear. With no pain. That's right. You heard me.
We like the "Venezuela of the Midwest" thing, it's a great visual. So we'll knock the SCC finder's fee/Chaplain donation down by half - $25 to the CPD Sky Pilots.

Whom ever takes Chicago and crook county gets their dept. Most of all that state is now a democratic state. What a deal.

We like "Port Au Prince on The Lake" better...

When Chicago finally does fall backwards into
it's own ass, we can all watch the shaky
news chopper footage of some left-over
feral denizen plundering the final resting
places of the dirty political assholes
who wrecked this city (and the media
whores who carried their water/ran
interference) and parading their bones
around while laughing/making sport and
shooting at any choppers that fly too low.

You know... Just like when Papa Doc Duvalier
got plundered and paraded around...

But meanwhile, it's The Police who
are the problem in this town. Right?

All the members of Rahm & Co. are pondering
luxurious crypts of quartz fortified
bridge concrete.

You know... Cuz they "made things happen"
while you churls just got in the way
of their oh so brilliant plans.

The members of Rahm & Co. figure that you
soon to be busted-out middle class churls
should be content with a rude pallet of
tree branches in the woods.

On behalf of the State of Wisconsin, we respectfully reject any expansion of our boundaries into Illinois.

Divide Illinois amongst adjacent States. The surrounding States are economically doing good.

But ensure all the pols of Illinois are fired and prohibited from holding any office. This will guarantee that the newly acquired parcels will economically do well.

More like America's version of North Korea, with fluffy-haired Mike Jon-Un as it's despotic dictator. Pray that he doesn't go nuclear.

When the states own citizens are leaving, why would another state want it? Build a wall around it, fill it with water, then the surrounding states can design some nice beaches for their own law abiding citizens.

P/S. Don't flee to other states and start voting democrat. You don't have to fuck up everything.

The Illinois situation is really sad. The real problem is the City of Chicago and Cook County. However, the collar counties are trending the wrong way as well. You can't blame this mess on downstate. The farmers and small towns of central and southern Illinois dindu nuffin.

What do the following state governors have in common?

Bruce RAUNER (Illinois)
Scott WALKER (Wisconsin)
Eric HOLCOMB (Indiana)

Unlike the corrupt toxic politicians in Shitcago and the Crook County Board, all three are
REPUBLICANS.

Hey the ILGA set that precedent when they did that very thing to Rod Blagojevich.

Lol, yeah....ok. That's like when you close down a school in Austin and then bus the students to Edison park right? Cause they're schools are doing so well....right? Right?! No state would want us, at least the cook county part. Why would Indiana, who has been in a budgetary surplus over the last decade, ever want us? No reason. Period.

Make Illinois a territory again. President The Donald can pardon Blago and make him the territory governor. He can arrive in a ten gallon hat and matching six guns. He can tell both Obama and Rshm that this town ain't big enough for all of them.

Land of Link.
There's no money problem, just a spending problem.
For some reason Democrats feel once a freeloader program is given it can't be depleted like a pension.
Not enough SNAPs...increase the budget. Not enough for the budget...raise the tax.
No Jobs - Just Welfare.

Chicago is no different.
Boatloads of money, rising taxes, uncontrolled waste, nefarious spending.
Rahm laughing at the taxpaying suckers, crying for The Kids.

"Lady Rahmada, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.
Who finds the money when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent..."

Money certainly won't be coming to Sanctuary City Chicago via Washington DC.
Asshole Rauner didn't help the situation and neither will an obama supporter like Pritzkeroid.

As someone who is actively looking to move to southern Indiana in the near future, I call a resounding "NOT IT!"

Chicago already pulled a fast one on northern Indiana by conveniently forgetting to rebuild al of their low-income housing when the projects came down. Instead, they built them in Valparaiso, South Bend and Ft Wayne and sent a bunch of that ilk over there. We don't need any more.

No one would claim Cook County so it would be left to fend for itself. Rahms son would be kidnapped by college counselors and he would have to call in Snake Plisken to retrieve the wayward lad.

When considering the Golf Tango Foxtrot Oscar, expand your horizons beyond Indiana. The Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and the Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas are lovely desitinations.
