Democrat? Yes. "Liberal"? No. Democrats are middle/right.

About half the population of Illinois lives around Chicago area. The rest of the state is stuck with however Chicago votes into law. There is an awful lot of white welfare rednecks even in southern Illinois.

I live in Illinois. About half of the state consists of Corn farming.

The kook in charge of Chicago is not just 'middle/right' (that was a typo, Yes? You meant Left did you not?). There are tons of Libs in Chicago. Maybe not insane flaming Libs (well, there are those too), but, very Lib none the less.

Ausm, missing a few years on your chart. "truthfulpolitics" indeed.

I thought CA actually implemented some spending cuts?

LOL... you don't seriously believe that do you? No, they just jacked up taxes and created rosy forecasts that obviously won't resemble reality to pretend that they will close the deficit. CA will have the title back soon enough.

Unfortunately for all of us, irresponsible spending and government waste is not limited to one party, though one party tends to do more of it. The voters are to blame for putting idiots in government who just spend spend spend.

Illinois is now representative of the midwest? The thread title is way off.

Lol at the characterization of Chicago as a liberal mecca.

Yes, those who think Chicago is best described as solidly "liberal" clearly have no sense of perspective. They've probably never heard of many cities in California or almost any big city in New England.

That chart left out the biggest spender in the history of ever. How about being a little honest and put Obama on there as well. We all know why you left Obama out, we all know what the chart will look like with his numbers in it, so who are you trying too fool?

Compared to the other places I mentioned, no, Chicago is not "liberal".

And, aside from that, the thread title should contain "Chicago", not "midwest".

So your chart is saying O's spending has remained at the same level since 2010.....So?

It's still going somewhere.

Do you still believe that every employee can be a profit center as long as they're managed properly?

Did you mother smoke crack while you were in utero?

The money added to our debt during Obama's administration (4 years) is much more than that of the last three republican presidents (20 years) combined AKA make reasonable arguments 😉
