Vote Rauner, Not Blagojevich

Born and raised in Illinois, I feel as if I am in a time machine into the future.  You see, Illinois right now is what is going to happen to the United States in the next few decades. Illinois has not been able to curb spending or cut debt at all, just like what will happen in the United States barring major changes. (The outcomes will be different: Illinois will probably default in spite of the lack of current legality while the United States could enter a period of hyperinflation if the debt isn’t cancelled through an act of congress.)

I am here to tell you though, to vote for Trump instead of Hillary.  Vote for Trump because you’re not a complete asshole who would rather accept destroying the country instead of the chance that uncertainty short-term is better than long-term certain doom.

Illinois has had its share of clowns in office.  For the most part, these people have been corrupt clowns, a la Hillary Clinton.  Most recently, a successful businessman came in to try to use his success in running a company to run a state, sound familiar?  The thing is, Rauner was able to enact some legislation to fix the states bloated pension budget/underfunding.  The problem is the state supreme court denied the ability of the administration to cut pension benefits due to the state constitution, whatever.  The point is he tried and was able to fight tooth and nail for it until the very end.

The other side of Illinois politics is runaway corruption at almost all levels.  Similarly to how lobbying is strangling congress in any attempt to pass any practical bill.  Even Obamacare turned out to be a written by insurers to save their ass kinda bill.  I am here to tell you #imwithherers that corruption is only alright if things get done.  Being part of the lobbying class with a congress that’s basically deadlocked means that your hopes of anything passing but more pork-barrel spending are pipedreams under Clinton.  And again, I can tell you as a “proud” Illinoisan that if you vote for anybody you’ll get some corruption.  The problem is people have already seen Hillary’s myriad ineptitudes in the public eye and we know that her kind of corruption doesn’t get things done and will only destroy the economy for the (upper) middle class and lower in her (presumed) eight years in office.

So to frog, vii, etc. vote Trump, not for the reason that the chance of things getting done with Trump are low, but for the reason that the chances of anything helpful for the country being done under Clinton are zero.
