If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse;
however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming,
I help you become that.

The NYT, which I often disagree with, is spot on. Thin-skinned Trump is embarrassing the Office of the Presidency. "Melting Under Criticism"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 1, 2017
Trump's pettiness and incivility towards his critics signal a type of vulnerability that adversaries can exploit. Whac-a-mole beneath POTUS.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 1, 2017
Only a fool believes in anything out of Trump's sewer mouth. He makes John Kerry's flip-flopping look amateurish. #NeverTrump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 1, 2017
Who follows Trump? Only his delusional cultists.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 1, 2017
Yeah, tweeting about some woman's appearance while on the taxpayer's dime. The only thing Trump puts first is his own ego.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 1, 2017
The "modern day President" is thick-skinned to criticism, knows the Office is above pettiness and divisiveness. #MakeAmericaFreeAgain— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
No. That is what an incompetent, economically illiterate, divisive, unaccomplished ex-Demagogue-in-Chief looks like.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
The Dems think they have the GOP on the ropes over ObamaCare. Not really. ObamaCare has never made healthcare "more affordable".— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
What the GOP has been stumbling over is fear of the political fallout over taking healthcare from others. The answer is NOT centralized HC.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
The basic problem is that the Dems have convoluted the very concept of health insurance; they've substituted centralized healthcare services— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
Part of the healthcare problems is that Bernie Sanders doesn't like having to choose one of 23 deodorants, never mind healthcare providers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
The heartbreaking story of Charlie Gard demonstrates the inhumanity of State-controlled healthcare. The dying baby boy can't even go home.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
ObamaCare, with its economically illiterate community rating and guaranteed issue policies, artificially raises the cost of insurance.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
The basic problem is that ObamaCare is designed to shift costs of sick people from govt to policyholders saving revenue for other priorities— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
The elitists behind OnamaCare do not trust 320M American consumers to decide what healthcare they want and products they can afford.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
The obvious solution to the ObamaCare problem is to promote competition by lowering state &federal barriers of entry to the insurance market— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
Consider, for example, if Catholics across states could buy coverage from a self-insuring nonprofit with affiliated providers across states.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
Suppose that businesses could provide a commensurate payment to an employee's own healthcare account where he controlled disbursements.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017
Under a classical liberal perspective, ObamaCare's egregious conflicts would never have surfaced, e.g., a Catholic group would decide policy— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2017

(Illinois Policy). According to State Senator Toi Hutchinson Illinois is living under an austerity budget despite the fact that the state is spending a record high $39 billion.
And according to Oxford Dictionaries austerity is defined as "difficult economic conditions created by government measures to reduce public expenditure."
Can't think of a time in Illinois history where the state operated under an austerity budget.
Illinois taxpayers, however, have been forced to live under austerity budgets since the Great Recession. Maybe state government should give it a try.
This is an extension of Nancy Pelosi's insistence that the cupboard is empty, there is nothing left to cut. Notice how this demagogue argues that the tax base doesn't support essential/core government functionality. That's a load of crap. You have bloated government everywhere; much of what the State does can and should be privatized.
