The Illinois corruption you see, the doomsday you don't

The Chicago Tribune editorial on the land of ultra-sleaze:
During their combined 74 years in the Illinois General Assembly, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have voted for hundreds of billions of dollars in state spending. Trouble is, Illinois doesn't have the money to meet all of Madigan's and Cullerton's commitments. They, along with Gov. Pat Quinn, oversee a government that today has nearly $200 billion in debts as well as future obligations for which there's no money.
Just a reminder, Barack Obama's "jobs bill" is designed to bailout his good friend Chicago Mob linked John Culterton.
