OK, first read the below article.
This is the perfect example of Democrat politics.
The CTA, which gets the workers to and from WORK (VERY important), is going broke. So what does Chicago do? They GIVE FREE RIDES TO SENIORS, SOLDIERS AND DISABLED VETERANS. And I think that’s wonderful. But you give away things for free when you CAN AFFORD IT. And clearly, the CTA can not at the moment.
Its the same with everything here in Chicago. We have one of, if not THE highest taxations in the country, yet the CTA is going broke, the schools suck, the hospitals are in trouble, the roads SUCK, the police are underfunded, always a budget crisis/deficit.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY (tons of) MONEY GOING?
Ill tell you:
“More than 80 percent of Chicago’s government costs are related to personnel. The budget includes privatization of some city jobs, such as janitorial work.”
Translation: THE FAMILY AND CRONIES OF PIECES OF SHIT LIKE STROGER, DALY AND BLAGOJEVICH.
But back to Obama. This how he will run things. Our country will go broke paying for THE LOOTERS who will have absolutely NO reason to try to look for work now that they have THE GOVERNMENT TEAT to rely on. Trust me, I know. I work with the homeless every weekend and thats all they care about. Getting their Link card so they can get crack, beer, weed etc., then in literally 1-3 days they have nothing again until the government teat again is exposed. That money does not help them, it enables them.
Just look to Chicago to forsee the future of America if Barack Antichrist Obama gets elected. And it is a true example because he is one of our 59 senators and is thusly directly involved in the DEMISE of this city.

The real cost of a free ride
September 9, 2008
More evidence came Monday that Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s efforts to buy off the electorate voter by voter come at a real, significant cost. The Chicago Transit Authority announced it will eliminate 80 more jobs. Fare increases and service cuts could be on tap for next year.
Why? Several reasons. But here’s a big one: Blagojevich insisted that the CTA and other state transit agencies give away their services to certain people.
Last week, Blagojevich signed a bill that requires public transit agencies to provide free rides for poor people who have disabilities. Earlier this year, he insisted on those agencies give free rides for senior citizens. (The Chicago City Council also got in the act, telling the CTA to give free rides to soldiers and disabled veterans.)
Meanwhile, Blagojevich has cut the state funding that transit agencies counted on to help pay for free and discounted transit rides. That’s putting a squeeze on the people who have to provide the services the governor loves to give away.
Providing free rides will cost the CTA $34.5 million in 2009. Blagojevich just took away $32 million in annual state subsidies to the CTA intended to offset reduced fares.
The total squeeze for 2009: $66.5 million.
