The Illinois Spiral (DOWN!!)

The Chicago Tribune editorializes on that states problems - with politicians - and this paragraph caught my eye and pretty much summarizes the nations problem:


"Those pols treat the public sector with fawning reverence while ignoring, or even scorning, a private sector that supplies their lifeblood revenues. Why so? Because the pols and their allies have a good thing going, and no incentive to disrupt it. So, unlike in scrappier states, there is precious little talk in Illinois of curtailing teacher tenure, or reducing benefits for current public employees, or capping government expenditures, or exterminating townships and other costly relics, or demolishing obsolete institutions, or ..."


Our politicians are "killing the goose that laid the golden egg" and are too ideologically blinded to recognize their errors!
