[mukto-mona] Re: Hastert's district in Illinois changed from Republican to Democrats on March 8 Election

If indeed this change is construed as "positive"  and if it is likely to be replicated across the USA, then it is likely to herald as big a decline in the USA as a nation as it is in that of the USSR during the dying years of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Foster has been a part of the Daley cabal for a long time, a group that a few days ago raised sales taxes in Cook and surrounding counties to the highest in the country, prompting the Hammond Indiana Chamber of Commerce to thank Daley's bunch for their action because it is certain to drive business away from downtown Chicago to Hammond and Gary. Yes, Chicago residents may not drive to Gary or Hammond to avoid paying a $ 2.50 tax on a $ 10 sandwich when they have a snack, but on the whole, I would not be surprised if most of the large stores in the downtown area go bankrupt over the next few months.

 

Already, long before the current ridiculous 10.25% county sales tax, the historic Carson Pirie Scott store folded on State Street and Marshall Fields went under to be bought by Macy's, who, themselves, must be rueing their purchase of a sinking Chicago chain. White Hen has been bought by a California based investment group who have the same problems that Macy's have gotten themselves into. Nordstrom are likely to announce record losses in sales very shortly. And what is Foster's lot likely to do? Most probably, by this time next year, we would see even higher taxes.

 

A fantastic recipe indeed for progress in the future! With this trend continuing across the USA, if, indeed, this continues, I am sure everyone watching would soon see which way things are headed.

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
