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.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote:Meanwhile, somewhere in Ferris Buehler's homeroom class:

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.
