ANOTHER CITY, ANOTHER BASTION OF LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC RULE TEETERS........

[Whirlaway]

Mayor Rahm Emanuel closed the books on 2012 with $33.4 million in unallocated cash on hand — down from $167 million the year before — while adding to the mountain of debt piled on Chicago taxpayers, year-end audits show.

Last week, Moody’s Investors ordered an unprecedented triple-drop in the city’s bond rating, citing Chicago’s “very large and growing” pension liabilities, “significant” debt service payments, “unrelenting public safety demands” and historic reluctance to raise local taxes that has continued under Emanuel.

Our future following Progressive spend and tax policies....................

I suppose the fix is to appoint a person, a fically conservative person with dictatorial powers to make things happen. I mean why appoint someone who doesn't have the power or someone who will just give you more of the same.

That is what happens when corporations go into bankruptcy; a conservatorship to make the big decisions and get on a path of fiscal responsibility.

Sort of like Scott Walker in Wisconsin. Cut everywhere, prevent union negotiation etc.. But wait...that's not working either. Unemployment remains high, job growth zero. However, FRIENDS of Scott are doing much better now!

No, not at all like Wisconsin which is getting it's financial house in order under Gov. Scott; who has improved the credit rating of public debt..............

The complete opposite of Obama, Rham, and all the other liberal spend and taxers !

Seriously? An AM Best upgrade from last January to B++ on Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Company shows Wisconsin is getting its economic house in order due to the economic policies of Scott?

Do you even have a glimmer of how stupid you look when you post shit like this up?

[Whirlaway]

Obviously you are an economic idiot; you don't understand that the Walker reforms were critical to local governments getting costs under control.........but you are a fucking liberal moron who doesn't understand economics.

BTW, feel free to post a link that shows Walker's reforms aren't working.............

I can provide dozens of links to show Walker's reforms are working; the above was just one....where are your own ?

Stop with your bullshit bloviating and man up with some facts Timmy boy.........

Wait a second! Ms Page is giving Obama a pass on the economy and buying into the "it's Bush's fault" tactic but he won't do the same for Scott Walker. I can spell hypocrite but I don't think Ms. Page knows the meaning of the word. If you give Obama a pass (which you do) then you have to give Walker a pass on ANY negative news for about three years....or is it 5 1/2?

Great! Soon they can all move to Texas and spread their Liberal disease like
smallpox the settlers spread to the Indians.
