Some people are just content to say it’s everybody’s fault and so it’s nobody’s fault. That’s Illinois. They should go back to being a territory. As a territory they will lose their state powers and right to make laws. They become under the direct control of the federal govt.

1) There are many levels of govt. Local govt used to be the strongest. Remember the role country sheriffs still have in theory.
2) if the state disappears, what is left? There are counties, citys, townships (but they are pretty much inactive).
3) In a vacuum of power left by the state there is a fight for power. Counties take it, counties realign, or an attempt is made to put the state government back together. BUT MAKE NOTE THAT NO ONE WANTED TO PUT THE USSR BACK TOGETHER.
A state going bankrupt is a new adventure and should be fun. One of my impressions of Mongolia was they were excited about their future (it was like a new frontier) because they were out from under all the heavy rules. AND they rediscovered their past which was Genghis Kahn and Buddhism. I wonder what Illinois will rediscover.
