Yeah, Our budget in Illinois is so bad, they just suspended the lotto last night because they don't have the money to pay any big winners...

Legislature is sitting on their *** playing politics on balancing the budget...

we're going to be the first state to get junk bond status....

They haven't passed a budget in 3 years now.... we need to fire all the politicians and get new ones...

One legislature was on the news last night criticizing them for having to cancel the lottery - he says lotto generates $700 - $800 million a year and the politicians are going to screw that up....

Pretty soon our state will run on I-O-U's....

i seen that. I know Indiana is working on an emergency measure, there is many who think that Illinois may default on their welfare and pension payments in the coming weeks/months and thus result in a massive migration from Illinois to neighboring states. Illinois is toast unless they cut some MAJOR programs deeply. I was looking at the math yesterday, bankruptcy is probably their only option at this point, they're far too deep in the hole to pull out in my life time.
