Stop blaming

To the Editor:

Illinois is broke – $96 billion in unfunded pension obligations, caused by years of pillaging, abuse and neglect as the citizens of Illinois did nothing but live in ignorance and inaction.

America is broke – $86 trillion in unfunded entitlements. It’s a number so large that if you taxed every person and every corporation 100 percent of their taxable income, we still can’t pay this debt.
