Ruin




Mayor Daley is often seen as a barometer of what Obama is going to do to this country. This is the result of his superior management skills, that is commonly referred to 'pillage and burn'. Chicago was the city that only a few months ago was going to try to host the 2016 Olympics. The city had enough money then to execute this plan. Mayor Daley was even able to summon his puppet to Olympic Committee and have Obama try to act as his Trump card only to : FAIL. But wait, what's this?

US/Central City To Shut Down Christmas Eve To Save Cash

The City of Chicago will be shutting down early for the Christmas holiday, as part of Mayor Daley's plan to save the cash-strapped city money.

City Hall, public libraries, health clinics and most other city offices will be closed on Christmas Eve as those city workers are being forced to take the day off without pay.

Police and Fire Department operations are not affected and will remain fully staffed. Any other worker needed to provide for the public's safety will also be on the job.

As part of the 2009 budget, three reduced-service days were planned for 2009: Aug. 17, the Friday after Thanksgiving; and Christmas Eve.

The city expects to save $8.3 million.

"Every dollar we save from these measures helps to save jobs, and in the long-term, maintain services for Chicagoans," Mayor Daley said in a statement. "This plan relies on most of our civilian employees to be part of the solution to our very serious budget challenges. I want to thank them again for their efforts."

In addition to the reduced service days, all non-union employees were asked to take a series of furlough days and unpaid holidays in 2009, which are expected to continue throughout 2010. Most non-sworn union employees agreed to take similar unpaid time off.

There are no reduced-service days scheduled for 2010.

So how does it come to pass that in a mere matter of months, the City of Chicago is broke? What has happened to the money that was there earlier? Mayor Daley seems to be looking closely across Lake Michigan at Detroit and perhaps in the Democrats attempt to realise their Socialist dreams of total equality, make everyone share the burden of poverty. They are making our society into their two class society in which the bottom feeders will depend on their Elite Overlords to govern them with their Nanny-state.
Here follows a story of one of the comical ploys that Daley has plans for the citizens of Chicago. This is nice but where is he going to get money for this. Is Obama going to give him Stimulus money for this?

Daley Unveils Internet Plan for Underserved Neighborhoods

Mayor Daley is often mentioned as one of the greenest mayors in the country because of his commitment to parks and rooftop gardens.

Now he’s angling for a spot among the country most techie mayors.

Daley unveiled his “Smart Communities” plan to increase broadband Internet access to five of Chicago’s underserved neighborhoods. Humboldt Park, Pilsen, Auburn Gresham, Chicago Lawn and Englewood neighborhoods would all get planned Internet centers.

Daley thinks it will help low income families get a leg up.

"Technology can enhance all the opportunities as pointed out, improve our knowledge, especially the work skills, expand our economic development, encourage innovation, boost Chicago's ability to compete in a global economy," Daley said.

Hewlitt Packard will handle the installation of about 40 touch-screen computers around the five nabes.

But before work can begin, the City needs to collect some stimulus funds from the Obama administration. They should come through in March, according to the Chicago Tribune.

So as the MSM keeps blowing smoke up Daley's behind and the sheople continue to be lead into ruination, what can be done to try to stop this downward spiral? Is it too late? Are we doomed to the same fate as Detroit? Using the same method that Obama is using to get ObamaCare passed, Daley has sold the City's parking without the sheoples approval. What's next?
