| Gov. Moribund |
Gov. Bruce Rauner — who has spent the last year and half in a war of words with Democrats over the state’s budget crisis — on Monday quietly confirmed he is seeking re-election in 2018.
The news is not a surprise to political insiders. The venture capitalist has long said the business community urged him to run to try to turn around the state’s economy. And he hasn’t yet succeeded in securing his “Turnaround Agenda,” more than a year into his first term.
Can you imagine 8 years with this guy at the helm?
maybe he should run in one of the other 8 states where he has homes.
ReplyDeleteYeah lets throw a rock through his window because he is wealthy. The politics of envy is all the Democrats have anymore. Meanwhile I pay more and more in taxes for lazy people who wont work because the Democrats will be there to wipe their @sses. One out of three children on the Illinois "All Kids" health program are ILLEGALS. Thanks Democrats! What I don't understand is why our unions support these jerks. They are importing desperate workers who will work for peanuts (if they aren't sitting back and collecting welfare) And don't tell me they don't. Just go to the WalMart in Bridgeview and you will see dozens of Mexicans and Arab Muslims pulling out their Link Cards. All paid for by the chumps of the 19th Ward who still think it is the 1950's and that the Democrat Party gives a d@mn about them. Trump said it today...."Hillary policies maker her rich...by making you poor"
DeleteYes just one full year and he hasn't turned around a stubborn Democrat controlled State. A state that has taken decades to turn from a prosperous middle of the road pro business state into a Union controlled and rigged State that as habit just spends and spends and spends and spends our tax dollars. Every budget the Democrats have put together has been one with a huge deficit. Madigan and the Democrat controlled state will just ignore their responsibility to actually provide an annual budget. Put all of us in the cross hairs for the economic chaos they create and then sit back and blame Rauner because he (with a minority of Republican voters) cant force the State Senate and State House (led by overwhelming Democrat control) - to compromise on even ONE single thing. They want to continue to spend more than they take in and continue to ruin our State's reputation and finances. Government Unions are the cause of the near financial ruin we face as a state. People are leaving. Our credit rating is trashed. Our once great city of Chicago is a laughing stock of crime, liberal mismanagement and union corruption. But yep....lets blame the guy who is attempting at least, to fight back at all the forces that have nearly destroyed Illinois. The problem is that we CAN easily imagine what 8 more years with Democrat "leadership" will bring us. Probably a state that has bankrupted itelf. And where will all the union jobs be then.
ReplyDeleteall the union jobs will be in Indiana.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who stands up to crooked Democrats has my vote. Rauner 2018!
ReplyDeleteRight to work = no rights and no work
ReplyDeleteWorkers compensation reform = get hurt on the job hope your family takes care of you
Yes the whole decades long mess of overspending can be summed up in a non-sensical bumper sticker slogan. Unions are corrupt too. Unions and union workers can be greedy too. But that doesn't fit on a bumper sticker.
DeleteI am not in a union and I work. It is called private enterprise. Look it up. Oh and I incorporated too. Does that make me "Corporate America" that your knee jerk communist leaning union rep talks about?
DeleteLook up The Communist Party, USA and look up your union and see how similar they are. That is not a coincidence.
DeleteSorry, these modern unions are not your fathers unions.
DeleteAnd Mike Madigan has no blame in the 30 yr old problems?
ReplyDeletebesides being a great business guy and a WASP he is showing the teachers what he is all about good and i bet Madigan and company are having sleepless nights over good old Bruce...
