Illinois is sinking rapidly deeper into debt and those who can, will leave the state. It won't matter if you move to Chicago, look at the school district budget there, an estimated $600 million shortfall, ironically, the same amount as the Mega Millions jackpot recently. Too bad Rahm Emanuel didn't win it if he bought a ticket.
Out if desperation, Governor Quinn is slashing spending on social service programs, so you might want to save up for a one-way train ticket out of Palookastate. They are so desperate that they started selling lottery tickets online, but the only way they could get by federal regulations is by requiring that all ticket purchasers be residents of Illinois and over the age of 18. Most people across the country who decided to buy tickets probably didn't have a clue until it was too late. Oh well! "Caveat emptor" should be printed in bold at the top of everyone's Illinois drivers license.
This will probably be the last entry on this blog as I am heading west of the Rockies.
