Illinois has the highest debt ratio in America at 276%.
$220 billion in debt against only $80 billion in assets. It couldn’t pay it off even if it sold everything it owns.
Chicago is even worse. The city hit 7 out of 8 red flags, carrying $77 billion in debt against $49.8 billion in assets while overspending by $580 million. CPS sits on more than $93,000 in debt per student, and Cook County piles on another 269% debt ratio.
Residents get hit from every direction, while Pritzker keeps calling his budgets “balanced.”
This is what “fiscal responsibility” looks like in Illinois.
If Darren Bailey & IL Republicans were serious about beating pritzker, they'd flood the airwaves with ads exposing his hypocrisy, lies & new taxes/laws that have devastated Illinois. But they're not serious IMO. And running the failed candidate from 2022 is political malpractice.
Illinois JB Pritzker said he would not raise sales taxes or toll roads fees to accommodate the Chicago Bears
So the Chicago Bears started working on a deal with Indiana
JB Pritzker then raised taxes and tolls anyway….. absolutely insane
- JB Pritzker repeatedly said Illinois would not raise sales taxes or tolls to pay for a privately owned stadium for the Bears
- Pritzker signed legislation that raised the sales tax in Cook County and the collar counties
- The Illinois Tollway, whose board is appointed by the governor; he is an ex-officio member, then proposed raising passenger vehicle tolls a 57% increase
You don’t hate Democrats enough
This is the clearest description of living under Democrats in Illinois in a little over 90 seconds.
@AaronDelMar: “They said we're going to build a tollway and once it's built, we're not going to tax anymore. They said the lottery is then going to pay for education, and where did that go? Then they said, we're going to put slot machines in every breakfast joint, every bar in Illinois, and that's going to pay for education. Then we're going to legalize marijuana and it's going to pay for mental health. None of those dollars are getting inappropriate where they're supposed to be.”
Nothing will change in Illinois until the leadership does.
Vote Republican on November 3rd, 2026—Flip Illinois Red. 🇺🇸
Governor J.B. Pritzker Implicated in USAID Fraud!
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is CONNECTED to a colossal USAID scheme!
The Pritzker Family oversees 64 NGOs siphoning off MILLIONS of taxpayer funds!
Illinois Democrats are giving illegal aliens in-state tuition, scholarships, and financial aid while many American students pay higher tuition.
It’s a violation of federal law, and the DOJ is taking action.
THE BARBARIANS ARE INSIDE THE GATE!
We are fighting right now in Congress over whether we're going to maintain our status as a constitutional republic OR trade that in, dismantle the foundations and GO DOWN THIS DARK ROAD OF DEATH TO COMMUNISM.
THAT is the question.
@danyay I lived not that far from the city in my 20s and stayed out until all early hours there. I would NEVER do that now. The criminals run those streets. I haven’t been to the city in the last 6 years. The criminals aren’t held accountable any longer and are boldened to be even worse.
Paramedics were called to the home of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who had just returned from a trip to Ukraine, in Washington, D.C. overnight on Saturday, in response to reports that he was suffering from “chest pains,” before he fell into cardiac arrest and died, officials tell The Washington Post.
I’m first generation Italian American. When my parents came here they had no food stamps, welfare, medical, housing. They had grit & determination to assimilate & be accepted as contributors to their new country.
They were from the greatest generation.
Cry me a river mooches...
@CB618444@_G1rly_Tattooed@Lowcountry1Girl Preach 💯. Girl same. They had to be sponsored by someone already here (according to my father). WTF happened to this country?
