The State of Illinois is a Deadbeat

CBS TV Chicago reports that the state of Illinois doesn't want to pay its' bills on time.

Tony Sartoris looked at the check and couldn't quite believe what he saw.

The state of Illinois was months behind in paying his chain of pharmacies for providing medicine to poor people. The company was borrowing money to stay afloat while waiting for its $2 million. It was cutting costs wherever possible.

And the state sends him $6.27.

"It was almost a slap in the face to cut a check for that little," he said. "The bottom line is that the very entity that licenses us to take care of the poor in Illinois doesn't pay us. It's wrong."

Public sector ethics are rather low and some morons want to hand over more responsibility to them.Wouldn't national health care be just great?
