There are only two solutions.
Increase Income (taxes)
or
Reduce spending
The State has finally started making some moves. They increased the State Income tax, and have reduced pensions for future employees. But not enough yet.
This is the fault of our elected officials, but it is also the fault of Illinois voters - us. We keep electing bad leaders - Governor Blogo comes to mind. And we did this twice - what were we thinking?
We also need to elect a relatively same number of Democrats and Republicans, with some independents. We need checks and balances in Government - which really demands two viable and relatively equal parties. We need two or more parties to keep a watch over the other side.
Pretty good web site on this issue.
