It is not surprising to me that liberal states people are more in debt. Goes with that line of thinking I guess?

As a conservative independent, I find I think differently about alot of things, than the liberal mindset, but anything financial is usually at the top of that list.

Illinois' debt problem is just because people can drive across the border to places like Gary, IN and get debt withOUT a background check

Further worsened by residents being able to cross any state line and avoid the atrocious gas taxes.

Indiana's gas taxes are way higher than they need to be thanks to Indiana Republicans. I fill up everytime I go out of state prior to coming back in.

Illinois state gas tax actually is a lot less than in Indiana. Cities and county tax in Illinois might be the equalizer.

Thus usually Hwy 1 exit (first major exit) in Illinois on 70 is cheaper 70% of the time than Terre Haute

Just Googled it and found IL state gas tax is 45.4/gallon while IN is 34.

I hope you realize that “state debt” is about state government spending not individual spending. I doubt the state officials are driving to Gary and taking out debt (but maybe the state officials are really crooked and do that)

Yes, I realize. I was just poking fun at Illinois(Chicago) who blames Indiana for guns.

It's not entirely accurate to pin Illinois' debt problem solely on people crossing state lines to avoid background checks. While some individuals might seek less rigorous checks in neighboring states like Indiana, Illinois' debt issues are influenced by a range of factors including economic conditions, lending practices, and regulatory environments. The complexities of debt management and creditworthiness involve more than just background checks; they also relate to broader financial practices and personal circumstances.

That’s a bit of an oversimplification. While it's true that some people might cross state lines for less stringent checks, Illinois' debt problem is more complex, involving various economic and regulatory factors.

The "various economic and regulatory factors" are the Democratic Party throwing money at identity politics, illegals, teacher's union pensions, etc. It's expensive to maintain power.

Either way, most, if not all of IL economic problems are due to democrat policy.

Nothing like resurrecting a year-old thread to quote a poor attempt at humor and respond seriously.
