A democrat balancing a budget?
Bwahahahahahaha.
People of Illinois, you are so screwed.
But then again, you all obviously like felons for governor, president, mayor, etc, etc.
Bwahahahahahaha.
You have to read that in democrat-speak. They're serious when they talk about balancing the budget. Only their idea of "balancing" is completely the opposite of ours. To them, "balancing the budget" means raising taxes sufficiently to cover the shortfall. To us, it means cutting spending to within budgetary guidelines.
Of course, they know that increasing taxes will never, ever, balance any budget because it just allows them to spend more. But they also know the sheeple believe they're slight-of hand, so that's irrelevant.
