If Gary were a reasonably-run city, it would be a no-brainer.

Yes but the "Gary Futures Exchange" doesn't exactly inspire investor confidence

Lake County Indiana is another liberal controlled wasteland.

That’s how the feds transfer money to the states and the unions.

I read a few years ago that the Brown Line El renovations cost about $45 million a mile.

I took that to mean that most of those union construction workers could have been replaced by attorneys billing their usual hourly rate, and the job still would have been cheaper.

Read the Constitution. Spending bills must originate in the House.

Obama cannot order sh##. He can game the system somewhat, but Congress needs to authorize a bailout. ‘Aint gonna happen!

Yes I know. But as we have seen, the Constitution means nothing to him. And the evil uniparty which rules in Congress will do nothing to stop him. Whatever the king wants, the king gets.

Check Rham’s Swiss bank accounts for the balance.
