Durbin pulling his punches so as not to “ruffle the feathers” of Republicans is yet another example of preemptively attempting to prevent an expected backlash. Trying to placate the right in this way has failed over and over again, and it is important to note that the GOP rarely if ever does this.

Well yes the areas outside the Chicago metropolitan area needs their tax dollars to support their schools, roads and infrastructure since their economies resemble the deep south
