You should start a delicatessen because you're full of baloney. Precisely where do the numbers on that map come from? I know it says Bureau of Labor Statistics, but which report, which table? I'm guessing you got it from Bruce Rauner's campaign.

Anyway here are some very different numbers for which I will provide sources.

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.t05.htm
In July of 2013 there were 5,788,900 jobs in Illinois. In July of 2014 that number had increased to 5,824,500. An increase of 35,600.

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.t05.htm
In May of 2014 there were 5,807,200 jobs in the state. As I stated before the number of jobs in Illinois in July 2014 was 5,824,500. The same report shows an increase of 18,300 jobs between July 2013 and May 2014.

It seems very unlikely that we could have lost 5,900 jobs in the last seven months while creating jobs over the last year and over the last two months.
Especially since
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.t03.htm
the unemployment rate in Illinois has gone down from 9.2% in July 2013 to 6.8% in July 2014. The biggest drop in any state.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Announces City Jobs, Internships Will Go to Illegal Aliens

In a recent proclamation, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that he intends to give city jobs and internships to so-called "DREAMers," youngsters in the country illegally.

In the announcement, Emanuel proudly stated that "for the first time" Chicago is "opening up nearly 23,000 City-funded internship, volunteer, and job opportunities for undocumented students, or 'DREAMers.'"

He should be impeached on this alone.

He needs the votes. He and Obama have lost the support of the respectable citizens of Chicago. (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/14/obama-slammed-worst-president-ever-black-chicagoan/)

I've seen Twilight Zone episodes that were more sensible than what's going on among most democrats associated with this administration. It's well past the point of mind boggling. It's getting closer to purposeful self destruction. These guys should either be in prison for treason or treated for serious mental illness.
