Had Harris cheated her way to a win, billions of federal bailout money would now be flowing to those corrupt and incompetent Democrat cities.
💰💰💰
We sure dodged a bullet there.
You betcha.
Just read yesterday that the “genius” Mayor of Chicago is moving forward on reparations to Black residents. I guess Brandon thinks there is still a pot-of-gold hiding somewhere in the city.
Quite true.
On the Brink of Collapse? 12 States With the Highest Debt in the U.S.

I was surprised to see Alaska on the list. Every other state is BLUER than BLUE, therefor...
They fully expect DC to bail them out.
Our money for them to keep destroying the cities.

(Public employee unions) * [(bigger budgets in response to failure) + (graft)] = (chronic shortfalls)
>>create a “working group” of civic organizations, financial experts, labor organizations, local business leaders and elected officials to help tackle the city’s budget gap.
I see “taxpayers” don’t have a seat at the table in this “working group”.
Chicago owes reparations because of its history as Slave Capitol of the South. Or something.
Hard-working taxpayers money confiscated only to be wasted by evil, republic destroying individuals in government.
Every single dilapidated, filthy, crime-ridden, drug-infested, poverty-stricken, corrupt, bankrupt $hithole has been run by democrats for 50-plus years....
They have little to no foresight - plus they believe Uncle Sugar will come to their rescue with printed-up federal dollars.
Hope Trump tells them NO.
I call bogus on this list. Illinois as Number 10? We clearly have a firm grip on the Number 1 spot!
All of these state use BS accounting tricks to hide the true nature of their debt. Trick that would be illegal in the private sector. The real numbers are much higher.
Yep. St. Louis just elected another female democrat after the preivious female democrats couldn’t do her job. Talk about insanity. Doing the same thing over and over hoping for different results.
They go begging to fedgov for aid so that more fiscally responsible folks will be tapped to pay for their largess.
When they dont get it, if repubs are in charge, its their fault as they “hate people”. If dems are in charge and wont, its that the repub minority is blocking it, because they “hate people”.
> Illinois had $10,915 in pension liabilities per capita
And the actual people paying for that - say households with > $100K income - are a MUCH smaller pool.
Dem strategy for getting others to bail them out: pay my bills or else you hate people.
