Illinois lost more jobs during the month of July than any other state in the nation, according to the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report. After losing 7,200 jobs in June, Illinois lost an additional 24,900 non-farm payroll jobs in July. The report also said Illinois’s unemployment rate climbed to 9.5 percent. This marks the third consecutive month of increases in the unemployment rate.
States that implement a combination of high taxes, overspending and red tape do nothing but chase away jobs and leave many of the poor, working class, middle class, people that they claim to be trying to help without jobs.
Pat Quinn,the worse Governor in the country,likes to tell the story about how he was forced to room with Governor Rick Perry from Texas on a governors trip to Iraq a few years ago, and jokes about how he had to submit himself to the harshest punishment known to man -- listening to Perry's philosophy -- well maybe he should not only have listened, but also have taken some notes, because Perry's philosophy is working, his isn't.
Illinois is a microcosm of what is happening federally, while governor Quinn is making fun of Texas, their approach has been pro free market, limited government, and less spending, and it's working. While states like Illinois continue to follow the Obama model of -- take more money -- spend more money -- run it through the government and create jobs -- It doesn't work.
Please listen to CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute John Tillman on WLS AM on the Fiasco in Illinois. It is an excellent interview about the economy and jobs situation in Illinois
