not a peep about the fiscal policy of Illinois
Is Illinois still a state? I heard that due to its failed state status it is supposed to be broken up and absorbed by the surrounding states.

More recently, in March 2017, Americans viewed President Trump's general plan to "significantly cut federal income taxes for the middle class" positively: 61% agreed with the plan (with no mention of Trump in the question), 26% disagreed and 13% had no opinion.

America's Pension Bomb: Illinois Is Just the Start

We've written quite a bit over the past couple of months about the pending financial crisis in Illinois which will inevitability result in the state's debt being downgraded to "junk" at some point in the near future (here is our latest from just this morning: "From Horrific To Catastrophic": Court Ruling Sends Illinois Into Financial Abyss).

Unfortunately, the state of Illinois doesn't have a monopoly on ignorant politicians...they're everywhere. And, since the end of World War II, those ignorant politicians have been promising American Baby Boomers more and more entitlements while never collecting nearly enough money to cover them all...it's all been a massive state-sponsored scam.

The Pension crisis goes back to at least Nixon's time when he closed the gold window. There are no good actors in this drama, including present politicians of any stripe.

Sam Brownback, the beleaguered governor of Kansas whose aggressively conservative fiscal polices turned some fellow Republicans against him, will be nominated to serve as ambassador at large for international religious freedom, the White House said in a statement on Wednesday.
The man who wanted to reduce government in Kansas now wants to draw a paycheck from the federal government.

You'd hope someone would be tipped off by the social mood and quietly go away and find something more productive to do.

It has been done before, it is possible.

...and now they don't merely take the sinecure and go on with life; the new thing is to use these gift positions as a bench spot to build your party power and recharge your batteries for the next run at office.
