ILLINOIS IS BANKRUPT! COMPTROLLER HAS NO CLUE? 7-28-2010

This is what happens when state politicians use CNN to beg the Federal Reserve for Money. "STOP SPENDING" T-SHIRTS @ http://executees.net/mens.html

Cash-strapped cities, counties and States have been cutting jobs to cope with massive budget shortfalls -- and that tally could edge up to nearly 500,000 if Congress doesn't step up to help.

Illinois has never had a comptroller that actually had an accounting degree. They're all career politicians/lawyers. Isn't that funny?

Waste Management hauls away eveerything. They provide the large trash can, sometimes I have more than it can hold. Like maybe an extra bag they always haul it away. I tip them an extra $30.00 every Chistmas, because they do a great job. It cost about $30.00 a month for the weekly service paid quarterly. I couldn't haul it to the dump for that.

@troybrownrigg Thats the way it should be. right now people from Binghamton(pay by bag) just bring it to Endicott where you can put out as much as you want and it's in the taxes.

@UNTC321 WE don't have gov't workers as trash collectors. This need to be paid for by the consumer. In Arizona Waste Management is the biggest trash collectors. There fore your State trash collectors should be replaced with a non- government source.We have to pay to have our trash hauled away, out of our back pocket. Not are neighbors!

[UNTC321]

@troybrownrigg The only workers in govt, that should get a raise are the trash collectors.

End welfare and foodstamps and any other givaway programs, cut every state employee wages by 35%. cut benefits by 50%. Flat 3% income tax, add sales taxes in there and you got 11% income tax. Tax those corperations more and watch more jobs leave, raise those income taxes and watch retirees flee your state. Pull your heads out of the shell and cut spending.

If this isn't absolute proof that liberal policies DO NOT WORK, then I don't know what is. Obama's dumbass liberal state of Illinois is on the verge of bankrutpcy, because they have taxed the businesses in the state to death and run good corporations out of the state. The state has constantly borrow money to fund their pension plans..........Idiots!!! Illinois is considered the worst state for seniors when they retire for all the obvious reasons, really cold bad weather and very high taxes.

SLASH the pensions, they are WAY out of line in comparison to private industry! A lot of unfunded mandates coming from Springfield as well, this must halt. Spending must be slashed, taxes need to be going DOWN in this depression.

Too much money going to too many people for doing nothing. Thats the problem!

Spirits incarnate, living as humans in our midst; moving openly and freely, yet undetected by the masses, or even their hosts. Like the spasms of a decapitated body, the fact of the matter, thats precisely what it is; if you really think about it. Their illusions are many, which overtake the sleepwalking masses. Now know that they do take flesh and walk among men, to mold a new species. Die young and stay pretty. It's just a message for the stoke: SaintVeil
