The House of Representatives is filled with cowards. Not surprisingly it’s headed by the father of a candidate for something next cycle who can’t be found to take a position on a very basic issue–how to close a huge budget deficit.

Every option the House is offering is inadequate and we are getting more leadership from Cullerton than from anyone in House or the somewhat erratic ramblings of the Gov. There is a structural deficit in Illinois that has to be dealt with not by one year gimmicks, but by fundamentally changing the tax structure. Cullerton has put up, the Governor is willing and trying to push the message, but the House continues to run scared. What good is power if you won’t wield it every once in a while?
