China has been buying American real estate for years. Last Edited by [email protected]=E@@sL4V\s on 06/22/2017 09:44 AM |

It's the Conservative-led state government who did this....and even brags about it it. What do you expect will happen when a bunch of whiny, cheap, selfish, in-patriotic 'boomers decide to whine about taxes not pay their bills for years on end? The state has been led by Democrats for decades. Don't try to blame this on Republicans. Rauner was elected because he isn't a Democrat. He is trying to balance the budget but the Madigans have complete control. Cook County seems to forget that there are other counties in the state and if it weren't for the crooked politicians in bed with two previous governors serving prison sentences for their dealings Illinois would be in a far better place. F Chicago, I long for the day the lake swallows it. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74817237 United States06/22/2017 09:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Illinois is an awesome state! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75081775 The problem isn't Illinois, it's Chicago and Mike Madigan. Politicians have harmed the state horribly and it may be on level for corruption with Washington DC. I went to see Metallica at Soldier Field in Chicago last Sunday and the fan's were awesome, but the money it cost, plus the poor show left me deflated. Almost $200 for a ticket, I had 2 which ran me almost $400. They wanted $50 to park and plenty of folks paid, but we parked at Navy Pier for $20 and walked down. T-shirts were $30 plus, drinks and food at Soldier Field was robbery. Toll roads show have cost another $20, but we went a more economic route and got in and out for under $10. The average price for 2 people ran around $1000 for the concert and everything. I live out in the Starved Rock State park area and that last few holiday weekends there, it has had to be closed down due to capacity crowds coming down from Chicago. It will be closed down July 1 due to states financial troubles. Caterpillar, once Illinois largest employer, has lost over 30,000 jobs over several years. Chicago and it's politicians have harmed the state. Illinois has some of the best people living there and as Trump bragged about Iowa people, I'd say Illinois is actually better, from having lived in both states. I've lived in Central Illinois(woodford county) all my life and moved to IA state last year.Central Illinois is the best region of the entire IL state. People are hardworking, green farm crops everywhere, cheap housing prices.I thought I would live there for the rest of my life but I was laid off from CAT and I couldn't find any other jobs near by area. I nevwr thought I would leave such beautiful central IL. I know it's to late but Caterpillar sales are improving recently. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20014959 United States06/22/2017 10:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They get what they deserve, they tax the fuck out of any and everything. Toll roads everywhere, lottery raking in the monies. When that isn't enough, they raise the taxes, raise the fees. It gets to the point that people are fed up paying for others. Tired of paying for benefits that most are NOT entitled to, only the selected government employees. Try to raise the retirement age, won't happen. Try to have government employees contribute more towards medical and pension. Nope liberal judges know it will have an effect on them as well. I would give all level of government employees two options, either you accept decreased pensions, raise retirement age, pay more for life long medical OR anyone with any term of employment can be fire. Doesn't matter if you have 20 plus years or 2 months into your career. Everyone is on the table. But this is democratic controlled, so they instead will seek the American taxpayer free bailout. |
