Chicago facing tough times because of Progressives

Chicago — A Midwestern humorist, Indiana’s Kin Hubbard, said people often confuse bad management with destiny. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel knows better. He must play the cards that fate has dealt him, and he is too polite, or at least too prudent, to say that another name for fate is Democratic rule of the city since 1931. During the past 84 years, the growth of the public sector has been mostly driven by the alliance between elected politicians and public-sector unions. This has made Chicago emblematic of the coast-to-coast crisis of what Walter Russell Mead has labeled the “blue model” of municipal and state governance. It is not Emanuel’s fault that Chicago’s three largest employers, after the federal government, are the public-school system, the city government, and Cook County’s government. Although Emanuel is a product of the Chicago politics that made Barack Obama, the crisis brought on by such politics now requires Emanuel to take many measures to make Chicago an exception to the nation’s economic lethargy under Obama. Emanuel’s task — condign punishment for any Democrat — is to salvage the blue model by making the private sector dynamic enough to generate tax revenues sufficient to fund improvident public contracts and their pension promises. Hence Emanuel’s focus on K–12 education.

Maybe they should deal with their corruption problems.

That might help.

P.C culture in action. Progressives are literally evil.

"Rosebud pornography, rosebudding or rectal prolapse pornography refers to an anal sex practice which occurs in some extreme anal pornography whereby a pornograhic actor or actress performs a rectal prolapse whereby the walls of the rectum slip out of the anus. A rectal prolapse is a serious medical condition that requires the attention of a medical professional. However in rosebud pornography it is performed deliberately. Mark Shrayber, writing for Jezebel, argues that rosebudding is an example of producers making 'extreme' content due to the easy availability of free pornography on the internet. He also argues that rosebudding is a way for pornographic actors and actresses to distinguish themselves. Repeated rectal prolapses can cause bowel problems and anal leakage and therefore risk the health of pornographic actors or actresses who participate in them. Michelle Lhooq, writing for Vice, argues that some who participate in this form of pornography are unaware of the consequences."

I used to think it was just ignorance to life, but progressives seem to not care about anyone but themselves, but fake care about everyone else.

Take Hilary Clinton for example. What has she ever done for anyone here or anyone else. All she does is line her pockets with other peoples money.

Now wait a bit and someone in here will come champion Hilary, for no reason other then to do so.

Of course someone will, TI. Hillary can do no wrong in dumbocrats' eyes because she promises more freebies if they will just vote for her ugly-looking lying criminal ass.

Even the freebies she offers prolly effects no one here. So why do they want her?

Thanks, Blax, at least we learned something in this thread now.

Ok seriously this forcible partisan posting has to stop. There's nothing to discuss here- it';s just another volley against what the OP sees as his enemies.

I am sick of this combative agenda being increasingly forced into the GDF. It's become a terrible place because of it. I will be closing all threads such as this in future, and very likely other ones that I see as nothing but disruptive as well.
