"Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has handed out raises—some of more than 20 percent—to his staff while proclaiming a message of "shared sacrifice" and planning spending cuts of $1.4 billion because the state is awash in debt."
Public employees need more money. Taxes are good. Taxes must be raised.
The City of Burlington's casino model of wealth has not paid off either. When does our City Council get arrested?

I would imagine ex-business teacher Davidson is offering his first real world experience doing anything helping to rewrite the business curriculum for public trust and funding options.
Jeff Heland is trying too, to the best of his abilities, rectify all of the casinos' gross revenue problems. Heland believes in regionalism and float.
If your flood protection plan is a cost to benefit folly, call Dave. Rewrite the rules with help from the queen of tax and spend to guarantee your re-election this Fall.
What about Oakville?
If you wish to ask deficit spending Dave where is mine, forget about a Town Hall meeting. Loebsack and the rest of the liberal big spenders have been scarce in that department. Angry taxpayers make for bad press in a re-election year.
Events staged for the press are more predictable and pleasant than where the public may ask embarrassing questions. Waste those tax dollars where there are two television stations to show your smiling face with a check in hand. How dare anybody point out who is paying the bill and demanding to know the return on investment.
Loebsack and Pelosi need to go.

There are only 50 voters left around Oakville. Loebsack is goin' for his base of Chai Tea drinkers.
BTW - There will be promises but never a dime from the Parisian Prostitute. She's only fluffing him up a little.
Hinkle, Tapp, and all the other guilty brought Burlington the worst Chicago had to offer for a purpose. They wanted to cook the 2010 census figures.
With the worthy and productive fleeing, how to paper over the decline? Tapp got a bus grant and the slum lords got new clients. Senator Courtney, Representative Cahoon, Supervisor Heland and the other single party hacks got new voters. The taxpayers got stuck with the increased crime and welfare tab.
The more heads you can count, the better. If they are working, or even sober, matters not. Those grants disbursing "free" federal dollars pay out on a per capita basis. None of those responsible could run an honest business, but they know how to write grant proposals.
The 2010 census is nearly over. It is time to take out the trash. Courtney, Cahoon and Heland will howl. Too bad, boys.
Those with jobs who cut their grass and have become responsible members of our community, we're glad to have you. Stay awhile. Law enforcement needs to crack down on the crap.
Welfare fraud investigations down to noise complaints will deliver the message. Criminal sentences should include banishment back to the bankrupt old country. The Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission needs to sponsor one way bus trips back to Chicago.
Growth on the Gary, Indiana model is not what Burlington needs.
It’s too bad that Obama has directed NASA to pussy foot around with the Muslim world as though they’ve earned the right to American know how and dollars.
I wonder if he’d do the same for Catholics, Jews or other religious groups and secondly, isn’t it against the Constitution to harbor one religion or for that matter any religion at all. Where’s the separation the founding fathers wrote into the Consitution?
This president is a fruit cake to say the least. I don’t want my tax dollars going to any Muslim groups, this guy is just out of his head. Not one American dollar should be spent on Muslims until the killing stops.
Obama is wasting his time because Muslims have no desire to stop the blood shed and if they did it would have stopped prior to 9/11.
I wonder how the families of 9/11 victims feel about Obama aiding and abetting the enemy who killed their loved ones?
How can this idiot tell NASA to act like the state department, another twinkle toe agency run by a leftist as are all other Obama agencies of the government?
I sure as hell don’t want my tax dollars spent on anything Muslim with the exception of our own military.
NASA is a space organization and now Nobama wants it to be some sort of state department entity and kiss ass with the Muslim world regardless of their terrorist activities.
I wonder how the families of those killed in 9/11 view this atrocity. What will this dimwit president do next to dishonor Americans and American institutions?
PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE THE DEMOCRATS OUT IN NOVEMBER BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
"Dropping the New Black Panther case is inexcusable. They were caught on tape standing in front of a polling location in Philadelphia in full uniform wielding a police-style baton weapon..clearly trying to intimidate white voters..yet the media is strangely silent on this. The DOJ and Eric Holder made the unheard of move to suddenly file a notice of voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit for two of the defendants..why would they do this? Why does Obama stand behind someone who says he hates and wants to kill white people and their children?"
