Illinois Entering Banana Republic Status. (1 Viewer)

a backlog of unpaid bills worth $13 billion.
Well Illinois does typically pay out 35-40 billion a year so the other states (read: red welfare states) can survive.  That is their yearly fed tax deficit.

Aren't there 19 or so states who take in money every year....

Nebraska
Wyoming
Kansas
Idaho
Tennessee
Missouri
S Carolina
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Montana
Kentucky
Virginia
S Dakota
Alabama
N Dakota
W Virginia
Louisiana
Alaska
Mississippi

:shrug:

Maybe if California, New York and Illinois didnt subsidize so many Red States to the tune of 155+ billion a year. Just a thought.

Those stats tend to be skewed in a lot of ways.  States that receive more money from the Fed tend to have bases in them that the other states do not want to have, which adds to a lot of money to the state.

That number pertains to the citizens of Illinois collectively, not the Illinois state government.  Everybody on both sides of the aisle will acknowledge that Illinois's government is dysfunctional right now.

 
They probably banked on Hillary winning and being given billions of dollars to be bailed out.  They would have taxed us all more bailed out Chicago, insurance, and student debt.

That's exactly what Rauner had planned. Way to uncover his plot Columbo
