Any state with a Moody’s credit rating of Aa3 or lower is effectively paying more significant interest to continue borrowing to support its overspending habits, where taxpayer dollars are frequently diverted away from delivering the services that residents expect state governments to provide.

I look at Illinois, and it becomes evident why the rest of the state wants to divest itself of Chicago, and make it the 51st state.

How would that work? Would we have to grant Chicago nationhood like the Native American preservations (most don't realize this, but many of them are technically considered their own country by treaty.)

[link=(Politicians look to separate Chicago from Illinois to create 51st state)]LINK[/link]Absolutely no idea, but someone in IL suggested it. Tongue in cheek suggestion?

BTW, it wasn't me that downvoted your post.

Found the link:

State legislature and Congress both have to sign off on it. Not sure what the state legislature’s political makeup is in Illinois but with a Dem House, that proposal is DOA bc it would likely give the Republicans 2 senate seats

Illinois has a huge(!) issue with gubment pension plans.

That’s what happens when you have an amazing amount of bureaucracy with cush jobs and sweetheart retirement plans.

Let’s talk about how oil money does not guarantee fiscal responsibility, which can only be continued through actual good government.

Looking at you Alaska. Be more like Texas.
