Looting Our Future

$3.50 an hour, 24/7. The Mayor sold the parking meters downtown to pay for his uncontrolled spending and now citizens have to pay up--or be fined or put in jail. You have to feed the meter every hour, even at night, even on Sundays and holidays. I'm listening to WLS, Don Wade wonders if the parking meters may end up in the streets like the tea in the harbor. Rep. Melissa Bean (D-8th) was on--asked about pork in the "stimulus" bill she couldn't say--she doesn't know what's all in the bill. How about $30 million for a mouse in Nancy Pelosi's district. How many jobs will that create? More Democrats looting our future. TRILLIONS just shoved through. You may recall Illinois has a $9 billion deficit which we will be paying for in higher taxes pretty damn soon. And so will our children--red ink as far as the eye can see. Have a look at this deficit graph.

Republicans were totally shut out in the conference.

UPDATE: Oh, and the big tax break, worth selling our firstborn for? Workers get $13 more a week. That won't even come close to buying Michelle a new pair of earrings.
