Rahm is still a month away from being sworn in as Chicago's new Mayor, and even he sees that the $700 million that the city is slated to spend in deficit funding is too much. He's looking (he says) to slash $75 million from the 2012 budget, and possibly another $150 million from the 2013 budget.
Who inspired this self-proclaimed "big government" spender to see the light and work so hard (and so early) to reduce spending?
Clinton and Obama.
Seriously? Chicago, this is the man you elected? Rather than take the credit for himself (as any self-respecting Chicago politician would), he gives the credit for new-found fiscal awareness to Clinton and Obama???
The Windy City is in for a long four years, I think...
