Chicago Public Schools Going Broke – Facing $734 Million Budget Deficit and Laying Off Almost 1,500 Teachers and Staff

[Hollie]

All the “free stuff” lavished on illegals really does have a cost.

Just another leftist Hellhole spiraling into the abyss.

What happens when you keep electing Mayors who cannot pass 2nd grade math classes...

And the result of voters who are mentally ill.

Why doesn't Chicago just raise taxes? Fellows like Mayor Johnson think that cities can tax their way to prosperity, time to test this liberal theorem, no?

They say the right things. Unfortunately, the real costs of those agendas are several times more than what government can provide.

The result of Democrat fiscal incompetence; including, payoffs to cronies.

A deeper dive into the problem. No mention of illegals.

Chicago Public Schools faces $500M deficit despite $10B budget

Chicago Public Schools’ reliance on temporary federal pandemic funds has left the district grappling with deficits even before factoring in a new Chicago Teachers Union contract. $505M deficit + $10B in demands = taxpayer trouble

I hate to say it but, when leftists are dangling at the edge of a cliff, we should just push them off.

What happens when you pass 2nd grade math classes because the curriculum was dumbed down because math is racist?

Yes, that is the obvious solution. Tax people more and then when there are less taxpayers all you have to do is raise taxes on the remaining tax payers. Rinse and repeat.

They've got to raise taxes on the "rich" people. And ban white kids from public schools. They're all rich, anyway, they can afford private school.

The democrat strategy is simple. Since state and local governments basically have to balance their budgets, all we have to do is grow the federal government more and more because they don't have to balance their budget. And, to top it off, the federal government doesn't even have to pay borrowed money back, ever, a perfect Utopia. Would could possibly go wrong?

Sounds a lot like Kamala Harris having 1.5 billion campaign dollars vs Trump's half of that and then winding up losing and still owing 20 million dollars to boot. And these are the kind of people we want running our government?

It looks like Chicago thought the $500 million/yr. for Covid relief was perpetual, so they spent it on new socialist programs. As Covid declined they should have used it to retire debt or fix the streets.

Fat Albert Pritzker will bail them out by increasing the already obscene taxes on the rest of the state.

It is pretty sad that any human being believes math is racist. It is scary that one could become mayor of Chicago...
