Illinois Downgraded

[Antares]

Old Fuck thinks we can print our way out of this mess.

Whew!!! Thank gawd no one was insisting we all copy Illinois

The GOP apparently is. They've already caused a downgrade for the country and are willing to do it again.

WTF, the down grade happened on Obama's watch with the majority of congress democrat. Why can't you accept any blame for anything????

Thank you, Illinois, for always being there to remind us how NOT to do things.

Illinois? credit rating downgraded; state drops to worst in the nation | WGN-TV

Not surprised. We've been heading down that road for a couple of years now.

Dude, why are you still there? Get the fuck out!

And here I thought it was the Obama administration that piled on almost as much debt as Bush in half the time.

I'm a Democrat and find your post hilariously stoooopid. Obama owns that particular little honor, not the GOP. Your assertion marks you out as a incredibly biased near troll.

How can this be? The Dems control the entire state government.......

They control the etire state. Period.

I guess hiking taxes on the rich will fix the US just like the Illinois tax hikes fixed the state.

Oh hell, we haven't nearly seen the last of it. Springfield (read:Chicago) is out to throttle industry with higher fees and even severance taxes. It's all take-take-take and no give.

Meanwhile, SEIU wants more more more...
