They need higher taxes and more government spending.
Coincidence: Thats exactly what they will do.

More people will be in these ranks if the Obama Care bill passes...the confidence of the people has dwindled, the boy who grew up in Indonesia at the steering wheel does not have a compass, or a map, nor is he an experienced sea captain.

Yea; My state is a reeking communist cesspool. But if you have to live in a reeking communist cesspool you may as well live in the one that reeks the most. That way when Obama sends the whole world to H3LL those of us in the Peoples Republic of Illinois won't notice the difference. Except that in H3LL the baseball teams win more than once every hundred years.

I had a lengthy conversation today with a billing rep for major insurance carrier, she being located in Chicago. I was explaining why our small-business in California was canceling our policy and changing to another more-affordable carrier.
This person was very sympathetic and then began to tell me how horrible Illinois was for jobs (husband out of work for 1-1/2 years). By the time the call ended I was thankful that I live and own a business in California. Of course, reality then set in and I realized the only real difference between the two states is one is on the the Pacific Ocean and the other has the Sear's Tower.

It isn’t getting any better, and will only get worse with these clowns running the country.

Just think how high the unemployment rate would be if they hadn’t passed the so-called Stimulus bill.

And of course no jobs leads to more crime and increased tensions in a family.
But hey, Michelle is looking out for everyone recommending they should eat healthy.

Except we have snow. And worse roads. And Haiti has more effective ways of getting rid of corrupt politicians. They at least have a revolution once and a while. They reason they are named Daley is that you have to deal with them every day forever.
