Reagan also slashed deductions and tax credits. As self employed, my taxes went up after the Reagan tax cuts.

What's the difference between Blago and Quinn? They're both liars, Quinn hands out high paying, do nothing jobs for votes. If he gets campaign contributions from Motorola Solutions, Sears, etc. he will prove to be as crooked as Blago. We can only hope if he does that he will continue the march to prison.

Chicago has now taken control of Will county. Our votes will no longer count for at least the next 10 years when it comes to the US rep vote.

That failed mission was not the only reason that Carter lost. He made no further attempts to rescue those people. The other reasons that he lost were double digit inflation and interest rates. The only people that liked him were retired with CDs. The worst president of my lifetime.

Wendy, you mean the CPS teachers, right? They're the ones who demand to get paid for working 15 more minutes, see the 3/3/2011 note.

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/philadelphia-abortion-doctor-accused-killing-babies-scissors-charged/story?id=12649868 One of the right-wing crackpot sites is Abc news. Dienne, I don't believe that abortion should be illegal because of the back alley options. But I don't understand the problem with sanitary conditions.

Wendy would rather have clinics like the one in Philadelphia. That way you can have abortion and euthanasia in the same place at a two for one sale price.

Do you get paid extra for pushing this multiple times a day? ZORN REPLY -- No, I'm just promoting it once a day as it launches in hopes of alerting readers to what I consider a pretty useful collection of links in the morning. In part because I am among those who encouraged Jim to make this daily memo public and I want it to succeed.

Yes Wendy, I believe that administrator's pay should be cut. There should also be less of them. If that was done, there would be more money for students with no need to raise taxes. Smaller school districts should be consolidated, that's districts not schools. One of the few things that I agree with Quinn.

You constantly leave out property taxes. This is what funds the schools, not income / sales tax. Ours is high.

ZORN REPLY -- Links, please. I'm using the same internet you are to find these numbers. The total debt and pension burdens are staggering here, we all know that, but even WITH that we're ahead of these states in many meaningful areas. Please name one meaningful area other than corruption and patronization.

Quin is incompetent, a lair (Rod is an honest man) and after seeing the proposed deal to sell / lease the lottery, I'm not sure that he's honest. Please tell me the benefit of the DOE, both state and federal. It seems like a feel good department that sucks up money that could go to actual education. You can say that you want to eliminate abortion, but everybody knows it's not going to happen.
