Nonsense editorial

So in the make- believe world of the SunTimes:

1. Two constitutional amendments were necessary or at least desirable: one on the revenue side of the state’s finances, the other on the spending side.

2. But the Sun- Times insists, as argued in a Nov. 25 editorial, that we stipulate that discussing an amendment on the spending side is out of bounds because the political party that wants a revenue- side amendment — the Democrats — refuses to consider a spending- side amendment. This is presented as some sort of “reality” we are all supposed to accept, like the law of gravity.

3. And instead of going back to the Democrats to demand that they reconsider their position on a spending- side amendment, you say the burden now to anyone opposed to the revenue- side amendment is to find a solution that everyone might agree on.

4. And to achieve your illogical outcomes, you falsely label the 55% of Illinois voters that saw right through the liberal nonsense as pawns of big business or millionaires. The response to your editorial is simple:

1. We are in stalemate unless we address the elephant in the room, runaway spending, alongside any discussion of enhanced revenue.

2. Until the stalemate is broken, the state and every single public entity in Illinois should be forced into bankruptcy or its equivalent under state law.

It’s that simple.

And until your newspaper and every other dumb liberal comes to appreciate this reality, then the death of Chicago as a great city is on your hands.
