Boehner's final act.. and a gift to Ryan

Bob.. you miss the point. Misty claims that Democratic policies do not work and are to blame for Illinois problems..

I was just pointing out that the poorest states.. and those with the highest poverty level happen to be Republican lead States.. I contend that Conservative governing simply doesn't work.. If it did, why would 9 out of the top ten poorest states be RED?

Because Obamas failed economic policies affect you no matter where you live.

Have you bothered to take a look at Kansas and Governor Brownback's "experiment" in complete Conservative policy?

Conservative Policy has almost totally destroyed Kansas.. We are going to make sure Rauner doesn't do the same to Illinois

Read your articles, QuickSilver....Very Interesting. I had no knowledge of Gov Brownback, but in articles I have read, I learned that Gov Brownback was re-elected in 2014, and became only the second Republican in Kansas to win re-election in 50 years. Hard to understand if he has almost totally destroyed Kansas as you posted, he was re-elected. He has helped gain 60,000 private sector jobs since he became Gov, and it was noted in articles that Obama admin policies have suppressed the business climate nationwide, which doesn't improve the economy, as Dude posted too. In 2014 Standard and Poor lowered Kansas's credit score from AA+ to AA-, and Moody downgraded Kansas from AA1, it's second highest rating to Aa2, it's third highest. Chicago's credit rating was dropped by Moody to Junk with negative outlook. The only big city with a Lower Moody rating than Chicago's is Detroit, which exited bankruptcy in December.
Gov Brownback said it would take awhile to get Kansas's economy to improve.

so how do you explain the solid BLUE states that are doing very well?

There are no solid blue states that are doing well. The entire country is struggling to keep going. Not all the unemployed are employed yet. Look to Europe for examples of poor liberal governments where so many folks can only afford to live in rows of government housing. Pretty small, nothing they can improve as they are just renters, the governments themselves are in deep troubles also with unemployed being much higher than the US. Spain for one and of course bankrupt Greece and several others in the list that I posted a link to. Nothing wrong with the idea of maybe a conservative government for once controlling the government and getting some stability put back into practice. Remember Bill Clinton. He had a Republican congress for part of his administration. And during those days the national debt came down a big bunch. Then we had Bush. He had two wars going and the debt was rising some but not up to the level Clinton started with. Then a Democrat congress took over and the debt started climbing rapidly and it is still going up for no known reasons. From 7.5 trillion while Republicans were running the congress all the way up to now near 19 trillion with the Democrat run congress. This year now we have again an Republican congress and they are fighting mad about the debt and want to stop the growth now. Can't do it yet as they are a couple votes short of being able to do it.

We do not have to live like so many folks have to live around this world. Our nearest neighbors in Europe being very poor examples of good economies.
