Economy Chicago style

 
This was sent to me by my brother-in-law; I wonder what they say about doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results. It seems Chicago, and Illinois, has proven over the years that the policies being espoused by our current national Administration is not really the best way to go.
 
There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people working.
 
Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year.
 
Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. You can't blame that on republicans because there aren't any.
 
Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what?
 
Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better.
 
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?
 
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
 
221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
 
Here's the Chicago chain of command:
 
President: Barack Hussein Obama
 Senator: Dick Durbin
 House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
 Governor: Pat Quinn
 House leader: Mike Madigan
 Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
 Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
 The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
 
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . Of course, they're all blaming each other.
 Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
 
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
 
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
 
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.
 
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???
 
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house. Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house.
 
The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.
 
But you know what?
 
As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.
