Cook County Employees to be Laid Off; Cry and Beg to be Spared

At some point, you run out of ways to squeeze more revenue out of the public and reality sets in; the same reality that walks in county facilities and are met with more indifference than compassion, which is why it's hard to feel much sympathy for some of these fat-and-panicked employees that have had secure jobs for decades.

I wound if they would like to send illegal aliens home now.

I hate it for the individuals but this is just more proof that bigger and bigger government isn’t the solution.

Perfect Timing..... Right before the Holidays!

Well, at least Trump is getting the Economy going again, and
look at the bright side: - Hillary is not the President!

I hear a lot of: “I’m a single mother.”

Preckwinkle is a hardcore leftist and this is how she looks out for “the people”. Watch how her Marxist policies destroy Cook County. The soda tax was BS so get your hip-boots on, my friends. It’s going to get deep and wide.

Well, that’ what Chicago/Cook County get for electing so many communists and Marxists to key governmental/institutional positions from City Hall, City Council, Cook County Hospital, etc.

These Cook County workers will have to get real jobs - ones where they actually have to work. Poor snowflakes!

Totally different mentality. They never cope with any difficulty in life like anyone else

Trumps Fault, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,............

And just wait ‘til they repeal the federal tax SALT deduction on the high-taxed blue states - Illinois, California, New Jersey.......

Too bad... You should always live below your means and save a little money. I haven't gotten a paycheck since May 2000. I am still here and pay my bills every month. My highest salary year was $50,000 and that was my last year at work. No pension. I am living off of savings and a little cabin rental business that me and my sweet wife do all by ourselves. We are 60 and loving life.......

But bigger government employs more people.

[tennmountainman]

That’s what happens to counties and cities controlled by democrats
for 60 years.
Look at what the RATs did to Detroit.

Welcome to the real world, government stooges. You know, the world where you can actually lose your job for almost any reason, at any time.

And under Trump they should be able to find a new job...if they are willing to actually work.

321 jobs cut to balance a $200M budget shortfall

that calculates to approximately $600K per job. any of these jobs below look like they deserve $600K per year? Keep in mind that $600K is the average.

includes:
-156 positions from the court system
-100 from the Cook County Sheriff’s Department
-34 from the hospital system
-15 from the board president’s office
