Bailouts and bad judgments

Where is my bailout? For years I have paid the federal government and state government and have received back no where near what I put in. I have been subsidizing other countries, states, local governments. All my money in Social Security may be lost all too soon. Medicare? Who knows.

How the federal government uses federal income taxes is not his concern. I guess it's no more his concern than it is our concern how he uses our state income taxes hoping to float the state on marijuana sales and gambling.

Pritzker needs to stop whining and pointing the finger and do his job for once. Own the job he has and do it. It's a hard job, resources are limited, make decisions and live with the consequences. He was quick to implement marijuana over the objections of the Illinois chiefs of police and the NAACP, so he can make tough choices. I had hope for him but he is turning everything into a political football. He threatens local government (shared revenue) and the voters of the state (education funding) if he doesn't get his progressive tax in November. How about Fair Maps?

I live here and I do not believe we deserve the help because we voted ourselves into oblivion. Not only is Pritzker beating the wrong horse by blaming everyone else, I think that the horse is actually dead.
