Bankrupt? No Kidding

We've only been warning about the "money tree" running out for eighteen years or so:

  • The recent surge of migrants has put major cities across the U.S. under significant financial pressure.

    “I think it’s at this point, politically unsustainable for the Biden administration to maintain this unlimited flow into what’s essentially a welfare state network of cities like New York, Denver and Chicago,” said Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.

    As pressure continues, cities such as Chicago and New York have begun putting restrictions on the bussing of some migrants from the South. But experts say more federal assistance and funding are necessary to ensure that cities can survive the ongoing crisis.

Of course, it's a conservative think tank making the prediction, so nothing will be done about it:

  • “How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.

    “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

Welcome to "suddenly."

Mark Twain went bankrupt. When asked about how it happened he said: "Two ways, slowly and, all at once!"

So their game plan is this. They want to keep the illegals coming and use the taxpayer’s money to pay for hotel rooms, maid & laundry services, clothing, medical & dental services, transportation et al. In California the State will even pay for a sex change operation. In the case of hotels room occupancy changes on a daily basis with tourists business persons and others. So they don’t fill the hotels every day so some days you make money, some days not so much. So a lot of hotels are housing the migrants because they sign a contract with the government where the the hotel is guaranteed money for so many rooms over a given period of time. So of course the hotels opt for that since they don’t have to deal with losing money with whether customers will book or not.

The other services are provided by the NGOs who provide services to the migrants. They love the contracts because the more migrants the money they make. And how do all these companies get those contracts? They make political contributions to a certain political party. It’s a self perpetuation scheme. You drop a donation to us and we reward you with US taxpayer dollars. It’s the same old pay to play routine. And this doesn't even count the skim that so politicians are getting.

Close the borders. Allow legal migration, giving those that followed the process first pick. Keep our money in the USA. Deal with our own problems first.

It truly is amazing that Chicago has no problem spending millions and millions of dollars on a bunch of illegal criminals , but they can’t pay their bills or pay into the pension.

It's a feature, not a flaw.

Slowly at first, and then all at once.

A goal is to bankrupt the pension systems.

Communists want all the property, all the currency, and all the control.

Love the first commenter at the Feb 21, Shitty council meeting, "You show your blackness by how you vote. The black people have issues cuz you got poor black leadership". "What kind of man did they make on the plantation, use your imagination". Still haven't gotten over this legacy of slavery. Just give him his mega reparations, the keys to the city coffers and he will shut up...for awhile. Funny this old racist is so mad. Fuck him. In case yall forgot Feb is black history month. Dis man reminded dem dey ain't black if dey keep the sanctuary city status.

The next one said blacks (in Chicago) under-served, mistreated and made to feel invisible. What planet is this guy on. He goes on, I've been attacked, shot multiple time, and pushed to the side by law enforcement. For what reason I don't know. I'm attacked by judges, for what reason I don't know. Another didnt do nuthing. They are still saying where is the money for the south side and west side communities. How much has been spent over the decades. Never a mention about the number of fatherless homes in the black community or proper parenting or the acceptance of the gangster culture in those communities. It's always someone else's fault, namely whitey the blue eyed devil. They will cry until they get all the big money spent on the illegals. Screaming for their reparations.

Old cone-head just stands there in a daze, the rest of them aren't paying any attention. Let the dolts talk for their 3 minutes.

And they have done a great job voting. The only funny part in all this is all the whining black people are doing about not getting all the freebies the illegals be's gittin. Cuz they been hogs at the trough longer dan anyone, dey the original victim class. This discontent might hurt old pedo Joe, but trot in Michelle (Micheal) Obama and watch them all cheer.

It’s amazing to me that politicians and the media are so stupid that, when faced with illegal immigration at crisis levels, their solution to the problem is NOT to close the border and STOP the invasion, but instead is to keep begging for the federal government to send more money THEY DON’T HAVE to these cities so the cities can afford to pay hotels to feed and house the PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN’T BE HERE in the first place, pay to build shelters, pay to NGOs to take care of them, etc. But the OBVIOUS, common sense solution of STOP THE INVASION is never, ever mentioned.

Funny thing.

Trump/MAGA is essentially saying, ask not what your America can do for you, ask what you can do for your America.

The biden/obamanation says, ask not, period. And pony up.


Quite the contrast.

You coppers better get your pension stuff nailed down. If the city goes BK, you will be transferred to the PBGC, and get pennies on the dollar. If you can transfer it all to a self directed IRA, I sure would.

Seems like Conehead has a solution for the lack of funds. He is now going to sue the major oil companies for climate change. He must now hire outside law firms to file and present their bullshit reasons. There are no qualified attorneys on the payroll that can handle it. More taxpayer funding so those "prestigious law firms" can kick back money for elections of Illinois favorite political party. Let's have a parade to celebrate the act of extortion planning and the dream of newfound wealth.

I do believe that Chicago is first with this proposal. Soon to follow, other "blue" cities and states trying to extort money from a legit business. Not a new concept for these nitwits' favorite political circus. Stand by!

Something not covered by the lying mainstream news media:

Spent 30 yrs. on the job. Was shot at several times in the 2nd, 10th and 11th Districts. Usually in the CHA projects, once in a Mexican bar. Never hit, thank god. Never shot at by a white person, once by a Black woman, once by an immigrant from south of the border. Tell me now, were the offenders who got arrested Prejudiced against me because I’m White?

If Chicago goes bankrupt, first they need authorization from the State. Then it goes to federal court. All contracts become null and void, to include all labor contracts teachers, police, fire, trades. Not a good prospect .

Asking for a disabled friend;

If shit goes down during the next Pres election, with riots, looting, murder, rape and more looting/murder" and the actual "Citizens" of the US fight back to protect themselves, family and property, "what will YOU do", as an Officer of the Law?!?

I'm telling u now; the next election will result in a "coup" attempt if (which WE all know will happen), Trump wins?

Thank you and stay prepared.

Blacks are getting replaced for the illegal browns south of the border in terms of the voting base to cater to, that's why they are shouting louder and louder nowadays on the subject of illegal immigration. It's so simple, because their Section 8 income for their 12th kid, supped up Charger and kush/liqour money they need it. Once they hear the government is taking care of illegals who jumped over the border, they are trying to revert into "traditional" ways of thinking. This is great. Let the world burn people, protect your family and yourself, this city, communities, politicians voted for this. Let them kill each other and burn/loot/murder for their lusting "possessions".

Please tell us you're not this dense?

Do you really believe the media and politicians don't know what they're doing?

And they are doing exactly what their handlers tell them to do.

Go to eBay or a toy shop (if there’s any left) and buy a package of fake money like they use in movies. It looks real but is slightly smaller in dimensions.
Stuff some up in your cars visor or in your wallet. Wallet probably would look the best.
And hand the fake bills to the illegal aliens walking in intersections begging for money.
