States can borrow. And Illinois has. But the federal government has been throwing money at states. Illinois can still sell bonds. But now the interest rates are killing them. I don’t think they can go bankrupt. But like NYC in the 70’s, or Detroit ten years ago, they can get restructured. There will be a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth. But unless the feds eat Illinois’ debt, they will be taken over.

I rather think that's Deep State's plan.

The good news is if he runs for president you can reuse your FJB decorations…
