Check out what Downstate Democrat John Sullivan had to say today,

“Across the rotunda, Sen. John Sullivan, a downstate Democrat, said as the day progressed, it appeared more likely that the legislature would resort to a budget based solely on revenues available. But he wasn’t happy about it. “’If we go past the 31st without a full budget being passed, all we’ve done is put off the inevitable,’ he said. ‘We’re going to have to come back at some time and face reality.’”

That’s what Illinois Issues reporters Bethany Jaeger, with Jamey Dunn and Hilary Russell wrote.

They don’t remember that Sullivan is one of the people that got the state in this mess when he sponsored a huge subsidy for ethanol, which mainly went to Archer Daniels Midland, ADM, for short.

What was it, $1 billion over ten years?

Living within one’s means.

What a concept.
