Venezuela Soon!!!

Death by constitution. The Illinois document prevents any reductions in pension benefits. Without such restructuring the state goes broke.

48 Illinois -$216.1 -$50,800 F
49 Connecticut -$69.8 -$53,400 F
50 New Jersey -$195.5 -$61,400 F

I was just interested in seeing which states were worse than IL. #’s 49 and 50 are no surprise.

Does anyone want to wager which one goes under first?

The state of Ill and annoyed. Run by Rats and RINO’s. Sorry for you FReeps who live there.

If only they elected MORE Democrats, then all their troubles would be over.

What do these four geographical entities have in common:

Michigan is in sorry shape.

Illinois was found to be short $216.1 billion to pay its bills

Is that before or after all the Government Pension Benefits for State retiree's?

Interesting...

The chart with the article lists all 50 states, their revenue deficit and the debt per taxpayer.

The top 10 best are all Republican.

The top ten worst are all Democrat.

Better get out now, the government employee unions WILL send out thugs to get their money from you if they have to.

Eight of the ten states rated “A” or “B” were carried by DJT.All but one of the states rated “F” were carried by ILLary.

“By the numbers: Illinois receives ‘F’ grade on national ranking of states’ fiscal health”

And do you know what? The democrats running the place couldn’t conceivably give a shit.

[EC Washington]

Newly elected Governor Jelly Belly Pritzker will solve all of Illinois problems.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

And people are surprised because...?

We have friends that farm in southern IL - have since the 1800’s!

How do you leave that behind when ONE CITY runs your ENTIRE State?

We have that problem in Wisconsin, too. ‘The People’s Republiks of Madistan and Milwaukeestan’ call the shots for the most part...though thanks to Governor Walker we turned back the tide for 8 short years.

*SNIF*

Very telling that Connecticut is in even worse shape at #49.

Not so long ago it was the home of millionaires and corporate headquarters.

That New Jersey is at the bottom of the list...no surprise.
