How does the lottery not have any money?
Oh I know, it's like the state pensions and Social Security, the government stole the money.
Government views it's coffers as one large pot... That said the problem all comes back to spending more than they take in. At this point it in Illinois it is so bad that here is what is required to fix the problem in Chicago:
Increase property taxes 58%.
Increase the sales tax to 14%.
And let that run for 23 years!
The state, needs to do even more. It needs the state income tax at 9%!
I don't see any tax increase of the amounts needed, that of course leaves SPENDING CUTS. Since most of Illinois budget goes for Welfare of one kind or another, that means the democrats would have to cut WELFARE. Notice that is not even on the table...
