This will be a lesson in what to look for regarding California and the U.S.

They can only hide the situation for as long as it is within their power to hide it. Kinda like Venezuela did. But it won’t unravel here as it did there. Way different culture.

I’m sure the many Democrats in IL will be happy to allow the State to confiscate their Cash and Property.

For the greater good.

Reality is reality.
It will unravel here just in a very different way.

Because we are armed.

Too big to fail?

When they are declared insolvent, the federal government will open it’s fat wallet and make your grandchildren even more destitute than they are already fated

Sooner or later, you run out of other peoples money. Then you become Venezuela.

ILLINOIS is reaping the whirlwind of legislation that redefined marriage between a man and woman, changed the designation of sex on birth certificates, and declared a baby in the womb as nonhuman.

GOD will not be mocked.

All Illinois needs to do is have a lottery and that will solve all their money problems.

Nothing that a big healthy tax increase won’t cure.

When declared insolvent, the state of Illinois should revert to a territory. It can then be reorganized into one or more new states or absorbed into adjacent states.

Wouldn’t this problem be a result of all the corruption, cronyism and illegals that have plagued the state for decades? Why should anyone be surprised?

Shame for all the people that don’t live in Chicago, Springfield and Bloomington, who tend to lean to the Right and are forced to have their lives run by the likes of emanuel and his cohorts.

Dear cats in Illinois:

Run! Run now! Run fast!

Illinois has been collecting cat recipes from Venezuela!

Please don't leave out Aurora, which is now Illinois second biggest city and leaking at the seams with illegals who I am sure never ever vote.
