Why Illinois is bankrupt -

[dennishoddy]

Why aren't our resident liberals here defending the guberment?

Because they know dimocrat policies are failures. Simple as that.

Illinois is so broke, if someone wanted to rob the state coffers, it would just be for practice

It is so funny when you bad mouth California-NTM to a Californian because they then start to brag about having the 7th largest economy in the world (or something like that). Gee, I never knew that tortillas and pinata's were such a thriving business.

Yeah, but their crayons could be sharp... maybe?

Just as long as those crayons aren't considered to be assault crayons, they're GTG.

Brag all they want. They have 400 billion debt on unfunded pensions, benefits, bond debt and deferred debt. Billions to teachers, public servants, engineers and so on and so on.
Their bond rating has gone up but lower than most states.
California is a heartbeat away from bankruptcy. They have kicked the can down the road so many times, the can has rusted. Proposed ways to cut debt will never pass because the unions and snowflakes are too strong.
Kick the can. It will fall apart. The drought almost did it, but it was just another harder kick down the road and a load of federal aid.

That wasn't Federal Aid, that was your tax dollars being used to keep California-NTM afloat.
