And since Chicago IS Illinois, the state may also face collapse.
A friend of mine has proposed that if a state declares bankruptcy, they forfeit statehood and revert to being a territory. The President appoints a Governor who appoints territorial leaders until they are solvent again.

Come to think of it, didn't he appoint Rahm Emanuel? ;-)

The President appoints a Governor who appoints territorial leaders until they are solvent again. Better yet, how about privately-run cities? Contract a major systems company to run the city, with incentives based on employment rates, lack of pothole complaints, crime rates, etc.
