What: "Your points are all valid. But Chicago's dynamic economy and enjoyable city life (away from the South Side and parts of the West Side) have given the corrupt politicians/rulers and their fiscal insanity cover. No doubt, the city and the state are on the road to bankruptcy and oblivion. In that regard, Chicago is like California and, to a lesser degree, New York/New Jersey: on the surface, everything looks good, and it's easy to get suckered by the mirage that all is well. It's only when you look beyond the surface that you see that big trouble is on its way." This is a pithy comment about spending money by local governments.
