The Federal Government is sucking too much tax money out of Illinois and
sending it to Mississippi.

Good

It's such a shame that The Magnificent Trump plans to make cuts to the
Food Stamp program. I would have preferred that SNAP cards were
printed with "Cheerfully Provided by the Good People of New York,
California and Illinois".

That's rich.

The states whose liberal elites are the founders of the welfare state
complaining that the welfare state is making them broke.

If you quit telling Mississippi who has to be subsidized and to what
extent, and if you quit thinking that the top brackets need to pay
a vastly disproportionate share of the welfare state, then maybe
some of your high rollers' funds could have been tapped to keep
you yourselves from going down the tubes. There is a valid argument,
and always has been, for using local funds to solve local problems.

So the high income states are bearing Kipling's "The White Man's Burden".

Oh the irony.

Tribune today compares Illinois' troubles to NYC's back in the Gerald
Ford era, and points out that the Feds did help out, but only after the
state stepped in, instituting some reforms and taking responsibility
at state level for bond sales at to fund some of the city's obligations.
To this day, apparently, there are checks and balances in place to keep
the overspending of the profligate years from recurring.

Haven't you figured it out yet? Sad. We do it to keep them DEPENDENT.

That't the whole point of welfare.

Everyone knows that.

Ah, there's the rub. We liberals gave the states TOO MUCH CONTROL in
the food stamp program. Sure, the always intrusive Federal Government
insisted the states better make even Injuns and Colored People eligible,
but we REALLY should be shooting cans of Hammer & Sickle BEETS &
TURNIPS directly to our dependants from gigantic USDA cannons in
Washington DC.

To HELL with the profiteering, capitalist local supermarkets!!



So the high income states are bearing Kipling's "The White Man's Burden".

Oh the irony.

Kipling forgot about Oprah.

No doubt you've paid it back many times over! A worthy public
investment indeed!!

Unclear where their funds came from, and lots of students were
there on "Illinois State Scholarships".

I suspect selected out of state students were recruited to help
keep their average SAT scores up due to a (generally reasonable)
policy of preferring local students. Not affirmative action,
since that had not really hit the colleges, or at least the
private schools, yet, just preference for the community that
supports you.

But there were some folks who paid their own way, and there were
alumni donors who, like me in this era, did their best to provide
younger folks some of the advantages they received.

"Preferring local students"?

Interesting thought, as many states prefer out of state students --
because they pay a lot more tuition than locals.
