Should the US Pull Out of Chicago?
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ? Check these statistics:
Body count: In the last six months – 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago ; 221 killed in Iraq .
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 9.0% highest in country.
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
Illinois and Chicago leadership is all democrats: Senators Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Illinois Governor Rod Blogojevich, Illinois House leader Mike Madigan, Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley) …..again, all Democrats.
Incredibly, they’ve been reduced to blaming each other for the mess. They can’t blame Republicans – there aren’t any there!
This is the political culture in Illinois in which Obama trained and learned his political craft. He will now take the fight to bright the culture war to a national level.
Have a nice day!
