$8 Billion (with a B)

So the budget will pass without Conehead's signature, preventing a shutdown and proving Conehead to be a ball-less CTU tool:

• Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he will not veto a 2026 budget that he has called “morally bankrupt,” instead allowing it to go into effect and staving off political gridlock and the risk of an unprecedented government shutdown.

But then he starts up with so-called "executive orders" that don't seem to have been passed by any legislative body and we can't recall being codified into law:

• Those executive orders prohibit the city from selling medical debt to third parties and create more oversight on police overtime spending.

  “I don’t want to give a signal to the people of Chicago that I support what I believe is one of the most detrimental and immoral aspects of this budget,” Johnson said, explaining why he will allow the budget to take effect without proactively signing it. He was referring to a part of the budget that will rake in about $90 million in increased debt collection.

$90 million sounds like a bunch, but Conehead's own economic team claims the budget shortfalls will be in the neighborhood of $160 million (slightly less than what Conehead spent on ILLEGAL ALIENS by the way). 

The amount of outstanding debt due to the city (meaning taxpayers) is over $8 billion, meaning the $90 million to be collected (maybe) is just over 1% of the $8 billion owed. If Chicago collected even 10% of the debt owed, it would cover shortfalls for years, negating tax hikes and fee increases.

This is what Conehead calls "immoral," that everyone else has to cover the cost of these freeloaders.
