WaEx: A new report shows Illinoisans are hurting financially more so than most of the country during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The financial website SmartAsset compared the 50 states across six metrics, including recent measures of unemployment, housing insecurity and food insufficiency. Illinois ranked seventh in the nation for financial pain during the pandemic, according to the report.
SmartAsset spokesman Mark LoCastro said Illinois’ ranking was negatively affected by unemployment.
“In Illinois, the unemployment rate rose sharply, increasing by about 13 percentage points which is the eighth largest jump overall in our study,” LoCastro said. more
The ‘democrat plantation’ is no exaggeration.
The ‘pieces’ keep coming together:

Fauci has ALWAYS been a clown:

Governors and mayors created the unemployment which resulted in the loss of tax revenue and now there is no employed tax base to tax to overcome their budget deficits! And they would rather commit Hara Kiri rather than cut expenses, programs or government workers!
What a revolting development that is eh Bugs!
Or as Daffy Duck would say to these politicians, “You’re despicable!”
Democrat pols in illinois are doing the smart thing. Promising the moon to their public employees and public pensioners.
So are the pols in California. They’re getting ready to pass a bill for reparations to blacks. More billions that the state doesn’t have.
It’s smart because the federal gov’t will wind up paying for it and they know it and anybody who isn’t stupid should know it by now. Republicans in congress will sign on to bailing them out and Trump will sign the legislation. We all know it will happen. So why woulndn’t democrats spend like drunken sailors?
We have nobody looking out for us. The republican party is not going to save us from anything. They’d let blm kill us if it comes right down to it.
Can anyone tell me why that since California was not a slave state before the Civil War why Californians should have to pay reparations to blacks. And were there really any slaves or very few negroes in California ever at all before the Civil War. Illinois, the land of Lincoln was also a slave free state since it fought on the side of the Union in the Civil War. Wasn’t the blood of 600,000 + Americans on both sides enough of an atonement for the end of slavery in the United States?
