#1 If you want to see the economic future, look at Illinois. Our tax revenues began to decline three years ago and show no sign of recovery. Last year and this year government workers will be laid off wihout severance packages.
but on the bright side, inflated insider no bid contracts continue.

#2 Our tax revenues began to decline three years ago and show no sign of recovery.

Illinois tax revenues began to decline decades ago when the attitudes of politicians in Springfield bosses in Chicago began to shift in favour of higher workman's compensation, higher corporate taxes, and unemployment insurance. Illinois manufacturing and industry, already under fire from glabalization and cheap imports started leaving in droves, as did potential wage earnings and tax payers. Illinois is a classic example of a state controlled by a corrupt, socialist megalopolis (downstate rural counties be damned), bent on migration to an anarchistic, third world economy.

#3 Well whatever they do, I hope they don't reform the tax code or enforce the trade pacts. That would be totally racist and hegemonic.
