Even though I live on the South Side of the city, the majority of days that means I'm upwind of Chicago, and I'm grateful for that. Because the stench from that Democratic sty gets worse every day.
Today's Tribune headline reads: "City wants $1 billion more for O'Hare plan." The project, an expansion of the airport, is already over budget and behind schedule. When the city introduced the plan back in 2001, the cost was estimated at $6.6 billion. Latest jabberings from Shitty Hall...Little Big Man's private sty...is that in order for the project to fully succeed, final costs may exceed $15 billion.
I'd like to say I'm surprised by this, but I'm really not. This is how Chicago "works": imagine a grand scheme to "improve" the city; ram funding bills and taxes down citizens' throats; make sure project money is steered to cronies to pay off markers issued behind closed doors during elections; hire corrupt, unionized companies to drag their feet through construction; fall behind schedule and demand more money; return to step 2 and begin again. The Chicago Machine has become legendary in its ability to rob taxpayers blind, renege on promises, and never deliver the goods as expected. And yet, somehow, they manage to keep re-electing the same crooks, year after year after year. Two groups Chicago can always count on to habitually fail their supporters: the Cubs, and the Democrats.
This environment, incidentally, is the same one where Prez Obingbong learned the ropes. Which explains why America is in such a sad and sorry state.
