A good look at what sort of "change" Obama could bring to all of us, based on what he's brought to IL.


A Good Look Into Obama’s Vision of Change






You know, I really like change. In fact, I think some changes are
wonderful. But I understand that change just for the sake of change may not be good for Americans nor pragmatic.
The way American politics has become mired in partisan anger and
endless bickering, not to mention the beaurocratic train wreck that
much in the American government has become, ought to be changed. And,
hey, I’m all for that. But when someone claims to be an agent of
change knowing how to get things done for the better, I look into the
facts of that claim. So here it is plain and simple.
Senator Obama has been my Illinois State Senator and is now my U.S.
Senator. Lets examine the change he is capable of bringing to the nation by
looking at what changes he brought to his own districts on the south
side of Chicago. It is dismal at best. There is enough degradation,
desperation, dereliction and dilapidation (how’s that for the 4 D’s?)
in his own districts to make the worse corrupt graft-ridden Chicago
politico blush. I may not be able to persuade some Chicagoans who are
blinded by Obamamania to understand that. I believe, however, it is my
moral imperative that I must show my friends and aquaintances in other
states and cities that Obama’s kind of CHANGE (at least what he
brought to his constituents) is NOT for America. Help me by getting
the word out about that kind of CHANGE.
Illinois is among the worse in the nation, fewer jobs and less
prosperity, under Obama’s State and U.S. Senatorial leadership.
Of the United States, in economic performance Illinois ranks:
· 48th in economic performance. This is dismal. Illinois is
doing better than only two states, Michigan and Ohio. (Rich States,
Poor States, ALEC-Laffer State Competitiveness Index)
· 42nd in economic outlook. Neighboring Indiana and Missouri
rank well ahead in terms of future opportunity at 12th and 17th
respectively. (Ibid, Pgs. 68, 69 and 80)
· 43rd in annual GDP growth, averaging only 4.5% over the past
decade, a 3.1% decline from two decades before, when Illinois averaged
7.6% annual growth in GDP.
(https://www.ilga.gov/commission/cgfa2...fILEconomy.pdf)
· 46th in debt burden as a percentage of total tax revenue.
(Rich States, Poor States, ALEC-Laffer State Competitiveness Index)
And Illinois continues to spend government revenue growth on
government expansion (health care, education, child care, etc.) rather
than funding past debt obligations, including pensions.
· 44th in personal income growth per capita over the past
decade, averaging at 3.83% while the U.S. average is 4.19%.
(https://www.ilga.gov/commission/cgfa2...fILEconomy.pdf)
· 47th in employment growth from 1977 to 2006, ranking ahead
of only Michigan, Ohio and Louisiana. (Ibid)
· 37th in improving its standard of living, growing at only
1.13% per year over the past decade. While Illinois ranks relatively
high in standard of living (18th), the state continues to fall farther
down the ranks.
(https://www.ilga.gov/commission/cgfa2...fILEconomy.pdf)
· 48th in net domestic migration, with over 727,150 people
having left the state from 1997-2006. (Rich States, Poor States,
ALEC-Laffer State Competitiveness Index)
· Illinois is shrinking in economic output. Today Illinois
produces 32.1% less in economic output of the U.S. total as compared
to 1963.
· Illinois is shrinking in terms of manufacturing jobs, having
a net loss of 241,000 jobs since 1998. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
· The growth of the Illinois economy has lagged behind the
rest of the country for each of the last three decades.
(https://www.ilga.gov/commission/cgfa2...fILEconomy.pdf)
In taxes, Illinois ranks:
· 7th highest in median property taxes paid.
(www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22607.html)
· 14th overall tax burden in the nation.
(www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/452.html)
· 9th in property tax burden per household.
(www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/251.html)
· 4th highest gas tax burden (approximately 40 cents per
gallon). (www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/245.html)
· 1st in sales tax burden (Chicago and Cook County - Obama’s
districts as a state senator).
(www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22979.html)
· 17th in overall sales tax collection per household (reported
PRIOR to the recent increases to highest in the nation).
(www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22437.html)
In Education:
· Illinois ranks 20th nationally in spending per pupil but
only 35th in overall academic achievement.
(www.alec.org/am/pdf/states/illinois2007.pdf)
· Only 28% of Illinois 8th graders are proficient in math,
ranking the state 34th. (Department of Education, ‘Revenues and
Expenditures by Public School Districts: School Year 2002-03′,
published in November 2005 and NAEP 8th grade reading and math scores,
published in October 2005)
· Only 31% of Illinois 8th graders are proficient in reading,
ranking the state 24th. (Ibid)
· Chicago has a graduation rate of just 51% and a dropout rate
of 41.6%. While both of these numbers have been marginally improving
over the past few years, they are still dismal.
In Health Care:
· The state of Illinois currently owes approximately $1.7
billion in unpaid Medicaid bills to the state’s health care providers.
(https://www.civiccommittee.org/initia...acingFacts.pdf, pg
6)
· Illinois ranks 26th in the percentage of the population who
have health insurance with 86.6% covered.
(https://covertheuninsured.org/states)
· Average cost of a family insurance policy in the individual
marketplace is $5,438. This compares to neighboring Wisconsin at
$3,087, Michigan at $4,116, and Iowa at $4,477. (AHIP Center for
Policy and Research,
https://www.ahipresearch.org/PDFs/Sta...eaIllinois.pdf)
· Health insurance inflation comes in the form of benefits
mandates. Illinois has 40. (Council for Affordable Health Insurance,
https://www.cahi.org/cahi_contents/re...ndates2008.pdf)
These factual statistics just scratch the surface of where Chicago and
Illinois is now as a result of the CHANGES Senator Obama worked hard
on for us. One only needs to drive down Halsted Street in the
Englewood neighborhood (50th to 60th Streets) to get a better view of
the horrid results of the Obama CHANGES.
If you don’t believe at the factual statistics above, Go to the
following link to see a video of the typical CHANGES Obama was able to
bring to his districts.

You know, as in most realities, if the future is reflective of history
as we have seen over and over again, we as a nation are not in for any
good CHANGES with an Obama administration. We MUST get this word out
that from looking at Senator Obama’s past history, he is not capable
of bringing any good CHANGES to his constituency in the future. Let’s
not put him on the national stage to enlarge the CHANGES he brought to
the south side of Chicago!
