If Illinois gets a bailout, then California and New York will be next in line, for federal money to cover their shortfalls.
The payouts will never end.
NYS was $6+ in the hole before WuFlu was ever an issue.
Note to the nation: If the rest of you are dumb enough to sanction bailouts for states like mine, you need your heads examined.
The payouts will never end.
So right, every state and local government will expect a bailout, every small (and large) business will want one, every working person will expect one, all from a Federal Government that is at least $21 trillion in the hole and that is before the virus hit.
