Morons

It is not very often that you will find me writing about anything political, not because I don't care, I do, but I generally try to avoid the fighting that it will cause. But Seriously I think the politicians that attempt to run the state of IL are the biggest morons in the world.
They don't even make any sense. Ok the question at hand is the CTA. Not that this is actually the only problem they have because they seem to have many, but this is the one that directly affects me, and seems to be the most absurd. They have been working on fixing mass transit for a year, but still say they need more time. Of course this shouldn't be a big surprise because they have been in overtime session for six months. I really don't understand how this is even close to remotely acceptable. I don't know anyone else who would still have a job right now, if after six months they still couldn't get their shit together. Well I guess I work with some, but I'm sure even they are not this stupid.
I understand that a lot of people don't really care, because they don't need public transportation to get to work. It would be nice if that were me but its not. Trust me I'm annoyed that it takes me 45 min now to go the 6 miles I live away from work. I can't even imagine what its going to be like on Monday with all the service cuts, much less in Jan when they cut the service to the bus I take to work all the time. I however DO have other options, but what people all over the state, and clearly downstate don't understand, is there are many people who with the cuts won't have other options. They won't have a way to get to work, or to school. Maybe they should just save the salaries of legislators for the state of IL and give those to mass transit. I'm super irritated and might have to go on for days with this one.
