It's nothing more than redistributing the wealth.

Once talk that federal funds might get channeled into the Windy City to bail out the Democrats and the damage that their century long spending spree caused, the shit will hit the fan. Remember the New York Daily News headline back in the 1970's: "Ford to City: 'Drop Dead.'" <br /><br />National interest groups will see to it that the federal spigot will get shut down pronto. I say this because Detroit thought that the feds would bail them out, too. Didn't happen, and there's not even any proposal whatsoever on the table to help the Motor City. <br /><br />Chicago has a little more on the ball than Detroit, but it too can spend itself into bankruptcy, if it hasn't already. And I don't think Chicago can count on help from Barry. Did you notice how much Barry helped Chicago pin down that Olympic bid?<br /><br />No, Chicago is not too big to fail. Not even Barry can save it.

She could - merely with a pen and a phone - obligate the nation to Chicago's debt. I'm surprised that Barack didn't do that, but he may yet do it on his way out. He did promise to radically transform America. LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
