The only solution is for the rest of the country to bail them out.
Puerto Rico which is already bankrupt voted to become a state.
The operative word to both situations is “no”.
Need to start commandeering the assets of those government “servants” who’ve willfully committed fiscal malfeasance and also putting them in jail for same.
I’m tired of footing the bill for this retarded a@@holes.
Damn. I had it all riding on California.

Treat both Illinois and Puerto Rico like Trump “treated” NATO. “We’re not going to pay the whole tab so you can use your money for your own purposes!” I would love to see Illinois go under so maybe it will push CA to do so also.
Illinois should change their state motto to “Thank God for California.”
....Puerto Rico which is already bankrupt voted to become a state....
Maybe the rest of everyone outside of Chicago should do the same and declare their independence from Chicago. Maybe Madison, Wisconsin should annex the Chicago area.
Have they tried setting up a GoFundMe page?
I’ll give them a bit of dough if they’ll recognize a Virginia or Utah carry permit.
That second line says everything about how the press wants to portray this. The conservative governor is just as much as fault as the spendthrift legislature. Yeah, right. They are locked in a battle because the governor is trying to regain some control over out of control state spending, even if its only in the smallest ways. The MSM needs to lay the blame where it belongs — on the Democratic state legislature, aided and abetted by “Republican” legislators who were more than happy to stick their snouts in the trough too.
This is the state that (most recently) gave us The Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama?
Let me see, I might have an answer on how much I care.....
ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. yep! thanks rombo, obama, and the rest of the the rat commies that are destorying our large cities
Maybe they can vote to become part of The United States like Puerto Rico.
We do need a process though where people can petition to form their own states. Big liberal cities are controlling and destroying the rest of their state.
Generous pensions for life along with corrupt politicians raiding those funds for pet projects and to reward donors and you have California and Illinois.
“A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.”
No, the only solution, LONG TERM, is to refuse to bail them out. Let them default.
One thing I WOULD do, is stop ALL welfare in Illinois, and fire all the people administering the programs. Have it be that you would have to move to a different state if you wanted to apply for welfare.
Illinois would be Republican for a century afterwards. At least, the places that escaped being burned down.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......NO!
They made their bed, let them sleep in it. If they want new leadership, new laws, new policies that will turn the state around, let them vote for conservatives. Bailing them out only perpetuates the corruption and tells voters there is no consequence for voting in corrupt politicians.
Connecticut is the same. Very bankrupt.
