Of course, they're all blaming each other.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

 

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

 

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.

Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

 

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois .

 

And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???

 

George Ryan is no longer Governor; he is in the big house. Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house.

  

The Land of Lincoln , where our governors make our license plates.  But you know what? As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

 

 While we're at it consider these facts?

Abraham Lincoln said the following: "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

  

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

 

 It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats yet they are still POOR!
