I can’t wait for my State of Illinois to crash.

I can’t wait for my State of Illinois to crash.

I'm with you. I live in CA and this state, run by the socialists for decades, is bankrupt. And now Gov. Brownie wants to increase the sales tax since he needs another 60B bucks for "high-speed" rail. Let the state crash. Maybe the useful idiots who keep voting the Dems in, will wake up (but I'm not going to bet on it).

I know the feeling. I’m A Michigander who has long said that Michigan will only survive and thrive after the fall.

We’re doing better but can never achieve full potential till we become so impoverished that hard choices are forced.

But haven't you heard? State governments are soooooo wonderful and shining examples of the ideals that the FOUNDERS had in mind. Giving state governments more power to make decisions over the lives of their citizens ALWAYS means more "freedom" and "liberty" for the people of that state. Rick Perry & the Abolish the 17th Amendment crowd "explained" this to principal to me, and I guess we Illinois citizens are just too dumb to realize how wonderful our state government is. If only we realized the benefits that would be gained by giving Pat Quinn, Lisa Madigan, Mike Madigan, and John Cullerton MORE power.

So glad I left at the end of 2010.
