How stupid do you need to be to think that Chicago's budget is anywhere close to being balanced? What kind of a liar do you have be to make that claim? So, is he stupid, or lying? My money is on him being a lying politician. Audit Disproves Chicago Mayor’s Claim the Budget Is Balanced
And you need to pay attention, because the Chicago machine is expecting to be bailed out by the federal government.
Mayor Brandon Johnson has puffed himself up as Chicago's savior claiming he has miraculously implemented a balanced budget for 2026. But Johnson must be living in some sort of phantom zone because an independent audit shows the City of Chicago is suffering an astonishing $41.1 billion budget deficit.
$41 billion in deficit is NOT a balanced budget, unless you are Democratic Party politician. But then Chicago is where we got Mr. "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
He has been trying to pass a bunch of new taxes and raise fees and existing taxes. Not tax the rich. Tax everyone.
All this so he can keep throwing more than $600 million at illegal aliens. And that is on top of the more than $3 billion lavished on illegals by the state of Illinois.
I would love to see them actually cut the insanity, but it is the Chicago machine, or what is left of it, which is mostly insanity at this point.
Read the whole thing. As I said, they are going to expect you to bail them out, and although Chicago is one of the cities in the worst shape financially, they are not alone.
