Pritzker hopes for federal money for Illinois after Democrats regain full control in D.C.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker was all smiles about Georgia’s U.S. Senate election results Wednesday, saying he’s optimistic that the federal government will come through with more state aid now that Republicans can’t block it.

At a news conference in Chicago, Pritzker was asked about how soon he thinks the state’s multi-billion dollar budget deficit would be closed now that it’s more likely that Illinois and other states would see federal revenue passed down.

“I’m thrilled about the fact that the Senate changed hands,” he said. “As far as how that will affect the state of Illinois, I think there are two things that we can all immediately point to. One is that I think we will begin to see serious consideration of state and local funding, finally, because Mitch McConnell won’t be able to block it and there are Republican senators whose states need state and local funding and they were working on that behind the scenes but Mitch McConnell would not bring that to a vote.”

“Illinois is one of the only states that’s yet to implement spending reductions of any substance since the pandemic began, though Pritzker says savings are happening behind the scenes within his agencies.”

Well he has good company in history. John Adams left the Capitol and went back to his home on the day of Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration.

Trump’s attendance would only help to legitimatize the stolen election. It is APPROPRIATE that he boycott it. He’ll be speaking for his voters.

Money, abortions, sex surgery, and free sht for all, in exchange for votes. Liberal lunatics in power forever. It certainly appears that God has finally turned His back on this Country.

If the DNC can now manufacture millions of votes while their monolithic Big Tech and MSM cover for them do Dem politicians even need to fund their constituents anymore? Just leaves more money for their sponsors and their own pockets.

Suckers.

Yup. We’re going to be paying to rebuild Seattle, New York, Philly, and all the other cities that the liberal mobs destroyed. Knew that was coming.

Raiding the Treasury, and rigging future elections, will likely vie for the top priority of the new legislative session.

Pritzker just bought a bigger wallet to hold everyone else’s money.

Why should despotic regimes and parties get bailed out?

Better this nation fail then continue to live out a sham and fall for this scam..

Others states can’t object how a state votes illegally but they still have to provide financial rescue, go figure, where is the ‘quid pro quo’ in that?
