Illinois’ credit rating downgraded; state drops to worst in the nation

6. do you think these workers ought to get into the social security program?

doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a separate pension or 401k type accounts.
but i would want to be in ss. maybe part of the solution would be to make a big payment to ss to cover these people. perhaps the pension guarantee program could step in. it isn't just illinois.

all that said, pat quinn, please step aside. you are a good guy. honest and hard working, frugal, all that. but you are so over your head. we need someone who can multitask, and who can kick asses when needed.
also someone who could make some mincemeat of mike madigan. i hope he knows that no one in their right mind will vote for lisa unless he retires.
