Here are some facts about Chicago and Illinois, you readers of this screed may enjoy. Illinois has more people on welfare, than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to public school teachers in the US. An average of $110,000 a year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their salaries. Can't blame that on Republicans, as their aren't any. In the last six months, there have been 292 murders in Chicago, and in Iraq, 221. Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in America. Here's the chain of command: President - Barack Obama, Senator - Dick Durban, House of Representatives- Jesse Jackson Jr., Governor - Pat Quinn, House Leader -Mike Madigan, Attorney General - Lisa Madigan (Mike's daughter), Mayor - Rahm Emanuel. The leadership in Illinois? All Democrats, and all blaming each other. Chicago has one of the worst school systems in the country. Can't blame Republicans, as there aren't any. State pension fund is $78 billion in debt. Worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans, as there aren't any. Cook County (Chicago), has a sales tax of 10.25%. Highest in the country. Can't blame Republicans, as there aren't any. George Ryan is no longer governor, since he's in prison. He was succeeded by Rob Blagjegovitch who is also in prison. Jesse Jackson Jr. has resigned from the House, since it takes most of his time trying to stay out of prison. Obama is from the Illinois school of thought and action, and he's going to fix the USA?
PS to PS. Thought your dollars were safe in a savings account? Thought all they were going to do was tax your income and maybe interest? Think again. Gold went up yesterday, and the stock markets around the world went down, because of the Cyprus event. A tiny little island, where lots of people store their probably ill gotten wealth, and especially Russians. Or thought they did anyway. Cyprus decided to tax money in their banks. Not income. Just money stored in their banks. The ATMS went wild with people frantically trying to get their euros out before the taxes were taken. The banks were closed, so as to avoid pre-tax withdrawals. If this goes through, and it didn't, it will spread around the world, with Argentina next, as they are broke and considering doing the same thing. The Cyprus parliament voted overwhelmingly not to do it, but the damage had been done. Cyprus is so broke, that economic collapse is imminent, and this would force withdrawal from the euro. If the banks re-open Tuesday, there will be a mad rush to withdraw, and this could break the banks, because they would quickly run out of euros.
