Government Expansion

Some good quotes:

  • The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem. (Milton Friedman)
  • Government failure is always used as an excuse for government expansion. Government thrives on crisis and incompetence. (Jim Babka)
  • I cannot watch the city of Chicago be destroyed by petty politics and bad government.(Harold Washington)

And an example of government expansion brought about by incompetence:

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday signed an executive order creating Chicago’s first chief homelessness officer position. 

    The person in the role will be tasked with providing solutions “for stable, permanent and affordable housing” for the unhoused in the city, Johnson said in a statement. 

    “By establishing a Chief Homelessness Officer for the City of Chicago, we will have a critical point of contact to coordinate efforts and leverage the full force of government to provide shelter for all people,” Johnson said.

Sorry Harold. At least you're watching it from somewhere else. 

Now we know where at least part of the Overtime "Savings" is going.

Chief Homelessness Officer

She will do very well for herself and her friends.
Their connected friends will do even better.
She will do nothing for any homeless.

There will be more and more homeless every year.

This should not surprise us. The Democrats create the problem and then throw more of our money at the problem claiming they will address the problem only to make the problem worse. They bamboozle the low information voters that they will solve the problem with more programs, and of course they never end. The goal is to keep the citizens dependent on the government. The cycle keeps repeating itself.

The good people are leaving and poor people are replacing them. At some point the city will have trouble getting money to run the city.

Why doesn't Brandon have all the migrants work in his city-owned grocery stores? Then, at least, we'll keep all the problems in one place. Nobody who lives in the so-called food desert neighborhoods wants to work anyway.

“By government giveaway programs, individuals are often hurt far more than they are helped. The recipients of these programs become dependent on the government and their dignity is destroyed. Is it compassionate to enslave more and more people by making them a part of the government dependency cycle? I think compassion should be measured by how many people no longer need it. Helping people to become self-sufficient is much more compassionate than drugging them with the narcotic of welfare.”

Thank you for quoting the late Harold Washington. Regardless of feelings that were expressed during his administration (for or against), Harold possessed something that no politician in Chicago currently has (or even can understand); he cared. For good or bad, he cared about our City and took responsibility for its success (or failure). He would not have stood by and let thieves, robbers and murderers destroy what so many previous generations of Chicagoans have worked so hard to achieve.

“The problem with socialism is…eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Exactly what’s happening in Chicago. All the lifelong citizen’s money is going to non citizens.

More government waste. More ghost payroll positions requiring ghost payroll staff for said wasted position. Chicago politicians are the most destructive force on earth. They never change even though their policies have never worked for decades. Luckily they have the media who tells the public what a great job they’re doing.

Get elected, take advantage of any crisis that comes up, and appoint 200k a year jobs for as many people as possible regardless of qualifications.

Right out of the liberal playbook.

Isn't it kinda ironic that the Homelessness Officer will have a house in the city? Not living in a tent under a viaduct.

Mayor Robin (the) Hood transfer the wealth from the hood to the Migrant Illegal Refugee Immigrant Asylees (M.I.R.I.A+) AKA democrat/IC proxy army color revolution.


Whelp this month as the mayors ministry of migrants pushes for migrant work permits actual employment opportunities in Chicago are deteriorating just look up the BLS unemployment data. Chicago lost jobs in Aug. Unemployment went up close to 1% in Aug. vs July. Tend of thousands lost jobs.

Throwing fossil fuel gas on the fire as if the job destruction wasn't enough new rules for Food Stamps requiring a min number of hours of work to collect Food Stamp aid went into effect. We can cheer about that, good, about time the lazy sons of bitches got off their asses and do some work if they want food stamps. However the mayors illegal immigrant chosen ones will be taking the jobs from U.S. citizens and depressing wages for everyone yeah? Hungry citizens will soon be doing desperate things and the ministry of immigrants Million Man March to Chicago only increases the pressure.

Work Permits Enable "The Migrants" to move out of shelters and into apartments BUT only if there are living wage jobs for them to do.

What is the min. rent in Chicago say $1,000/mo.? Do the math. For every 1,000 migrant families we are looking at $1 mil./mo in rent aid alone. For some like those staying at the inn of Chicago, apartments would be a lot cheaper nevertheless we have thousands more outside of that with more on there way.

My point is we don't have the jobs in Chicago right now. I don't even know that we have the affordable housing. This importation of poverty depressing wages and inflating rents is setting the stage for socialism and communism government controlled taxpayer funded new CHA/HUD housing projects == social disorder.

Historic levels of ILLEGAL Immigration allowed by the Biden Administration. Each blue sanctuary city bending over backwards to give them free entitlements on the taxpayer dime.

What a landslide 2024 will be when the people who actually pay the taxes get to vote. The dems are acting as if they have it all locked up in their favor.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. People will remember the Covid lockdowns and closure of Americas economy.

People will remember that all Joe Biden had to do was finish building the wall and secure the southern border. And they couldn't even do that.

Please stop electing people who live above the problems that they create. They don't have to live with the consequences of their actions. Therefore, they get to virtue signal their decisions and we the people have to live with their failed policies and impossible agenda's.

Remember...Remember....2024 in November

Meanwhile, Mayor Johnson is whining he doesn't have enough time to parent and be a mayor. He had enough time to hold two full time jobs. He has enough time to attend every event where a camera might be.

Maybe he's just not cut out for the gig?

Now the news is reporting they want to deport the Venezuelans rebuild the wall but they sold off so much of that steel that President Trump paid for. They sold it for pennies on the dollar now the Democrats want to build a wall because their constituents are finally waking up, realizing they are ruining absolutely everything the black community is getting nothing they are taking away from absolutely everybody let’s hope and pray that a republican administration takes over the White House something to save this country. Forget about the wall put the troops on the border right now Apache attack helicopter’s protect our border. They try to cross too bad so sad tough luck the Mexican government let them through the Mexican government can figure out what to do with it simple as that fuck them.
