Most people feel like Illinois politics are set in stone, corruption and nonsense is what Illinois is known for after all. We see some really radical things happening in the country and some of them are good. Most are not.

I don't know about you but, almost everything on the news sounds like what aliens from another world would say if they we're working their best to take over.

It's unlikely (maybe) aliens are behind all of the divisive rhetoric. It's far more likely that people in power are doing their best to create confusion, and retain their stranglehold on the reins of power.

There is a disconnect with the proposed policy and fight in the state and the actual reality of the needs of citizens.

It's not quite right. These talking points are not resonating with reality.

What is going on?

I can tell you for sure that all of our utilities are higher this year, food is more expensive. Everything seems like it's moving in the wrong direction.

Illinois Gas UP 55.9% Since Last Year

We do have some control of our future, even though it seems unlikely.

If you pay attention to what Springfield is doing, it's clear that they are part of the problem.

Did you hear about this?

Safe-T Act Passed

I can keep writing about this all but most of you already know we need to get corrupt fat cat politicians out of our state.

How much longer can we replace personal responsibility, liberty and common sense with whatever it is we have now?

Anyone I speak with agrees, things are moving in the wrong direction.

I don't have the answer but I know what we have is not working.
