Governor, you are indeed a good little doobie for the party. With the pork barrel bill being passed this week, it becomes more evident that JB was told if he kept the Illinois economy shut down, he would be rewarded with billions of dollars in bailouts. That will help for a little while but let's face it, we'll spend that money in about twenty minutes and be looking for the next welfare check to come in.
If you support schools getting money for the virus relief, why are they allowing the money to be spent as late as five years from now?
If you support people like government employees getting a check even though they didn't miss a day of work or pay, please explain the rationale. Those people should have been able to live within their means through the crisis.
If you support the "arts" getting money, will it go to the actors and behind the scenes people or will it go to building lavish new venues?
If you support the money put into this bill for the California transit system or a new bridge in New York, don't bother answering because you're simply a fool.
This money could have been sent in October to people who really needed it. It could have helped the kid at McDonald's who had her hours cut while she tries to raise a child by herself. ( and it happened to a young lady at our Johnson Rd. McDonald's)
If you think this bill is anything but a loan shark pay day that your kids will have to pay back at excessive rates of taxation, you have no clue how government works.
At any rate, Fatboy has made sure that he got his while selling out the local economy. I'm sure in addition to the state bail out that JB will be rewarded personally. Maybe his very own Illinois Pig Farm. After all, he is a pig already.
Illinois is done. Leave while you have a chance. Leave before police departments are no longer allowed to protect you while lawmakers let murderers run the streets of Chicago. Leave while bridges and roads continue to crumble.
In closing, Pritzker Sucks!
P.S. I believe the number of people being vaccinated in our state still hasn't reached 20%. Uncle Joe and Cameltoe are allowing thousands of people to cross the border every day while not being vaccinated. Is that really following the science?Boy/Girl/Man/Woman
The only pro-nouns that mean anything.

I got to ask Opie, what were your thoughts about the deficits that the the last 4 years put all our kids in debt. The GOP were budget hawks, til they got control, then cut revenue (taxes) raised spending....
I am for balanced budgets, no matter who is in charge....

No doubt Mr. Chris. However, you have to admit that sneaking some of the bs into this bill is nothing more than vote pandering.
Convince me that JB didn't get a deal cut somewhere to bail out the pension system that he and all Illinois politicians raped over the last thirty years.
As a supporter of unions, you should be as outraged as I am about that. I have relatives in "red" states. Should they be buying our debt with their taxes? No in my view.
No doubt this new bill adds debt to your grandkids in the future. The question is, when does it stop
Now, as for personal finances, Trump made my family very prosperous over the past four years and for that, my heirs are grateful. I will gladly allow Biden to be a loud mouth, non-presidential boob to make Mrs. O. a very wealthy widow. LOL
