Yea I made some comments about Chicago / Illinois politics.

Really though it's not much different anywhere, it used to be an honor to server as a politician, now it's a money grab.

I did though have high hopes for OB, although did not vote for him.

Funny though he pounded the table that he and his staff would hi light or whatever any of these funds that were not well spent.
We haven't heard him mention a single bit of these spending things that aren't being well spent. If you believe that .....

Of course here in Illinois, his home state, our politicians have been trying to produce Ethics bills (Isn't it a shame we even need them), trying to come up with a state budget (We're deep in the hole too).

So the feds throw a pile of money at out state reps, they sure found the time to spend it.

250 k to replace a roof on a CHURCH
450 k for improvements to a YMCA
25 k for the Boy Scouts
Not to mention 40 MILLION for a college here in the city of Chicago (I never heard of it) it has a 16% graduation rate.

Now I'm not knocking the money for the church, the Y or the Boy Scouts.
But I am knocking GOVERNMENT Money, My Money, if I choose to donate to a charity it should be my choice.
