49 States to Bail Out Illinois, Can California be Far Behind?

It's dominating the local news.


The politicians are positively willing to commit suicide because the governor is a Republican and they are not about to work with him. Does it remind you of anyone else?
 
Nah you just have an easy chain to yank.

Granted, that's your speed. So turn about blah blah blah.

You really need to step away from the conservative blogs.
 
This begs the question of what caused this to happen. Did the rich not pay their fair share of taxes? Too many guns? Hate speech? Racism?

No, the point is about the State of the Union.

You have a microcosm of it here. Illinois has become two states, the State of Chicago and the State of the Deplorables and the two are so philosophically divided that they cannot work together. They are willing to walk right into the abyss rather than betray their competing politico-economic models.

When disaster strikes, and it looks like it will, they will turn to the Federal Government for relief.

When the Federal Government goes bankrupt, who will it turn to?
 
Same question on the fed level. Except we've got the party over country folks running the show.

There's no legs to stand this soapbox on.

There's only one answer to that...they'll seize even more private property.
 
But the other Party puts country over party, is that what you're saying.


I'm the one saying it's two parties creating the instability and you keep coming back to only one party being the problem.
 
I don't know what the solution is since there will be no compromise, but if they fail, the Democrats and the Press will place all of the blame on the enemy of Adrina

:D

and that puts the Federal government in a bind, because if they don't bail them out, it's doubly the fault of the Republicans...



And that will be the story of the next several election cycles, the Republicans were willing to kick grandma out of the nursing home (and, of course, they killed her) because all they ever want is tax cuts for the rich.
 
You do? Well that is an interesting way to perceive your perspective. One that most certainly does not reflect your posting history.

If they were country over party, their first target wouldn't be PP and meals on wheels. :rolleyes:
 
And you can thank the conservative-led Supreme Court for Citizens United. Unlimited money into elections. That's just history. And judicial activism.
 
One note Nelly...

Adrina, based on posting history, is beginning to remind of another former political poster firespin.


AJ: I live in an oak forest...

fs: AJ, I'm standing in front of this tree and it's clearly a walnut, you don't live in an oak forest.

AJ: A forest will have more than one type of tree, but one usually predominates.

fs: All I see is this fucking Walnut tree! You're misusing the term Oak. It's just a forest.

AJ: 90% of the trees are oak.

fs: Now, you're just redefining the terms... We can't go any further with this conversation until you admit that this is a walnut tree...

AJ: Yes firespin, it's a walnut tree.

fs: Then you lied, you're stupid, you're inconsistent, and you make NO sense what-so-ever...

There you go...Republicans' fault!!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that was sarcasm.
 
What you do in a budget crises is cancel tours, shut down the WWII veterans memorial and shut the people out of the national parks?
 
And give unneeded tax cuts to billionaires.

So now you're going for ad hom? I thought that had no place in polite discussion? :)
 
No, just wondering exactly how biased you would get...


Did I not say that the serious charge would be tax cuts for the wealthy even before you brought it up?
 
And give unneeded tax cuts to billionaires.

So now you're going for ad hom? I thought that had no place in polite discussion? :)

If you took all the assets from every millionaire and billionaire how long would that money last, and would it permanently solve the problem?
