I would be perfectly fine never spending another single dime on the Loop. It does not need it when our other neighborhoods have such massive pressing concerns and our city has such a massive shortfall in both budget and accumulated debt repayments. This is not a massive pressing concern. It is a colossal misplaced priority given everything else going on.
If you have $100,000 in student loan debt, you dont go out buying $30 cocktails and Michelin restaurant meals every weekend. You dedicate yourself to scrimping in every single aspect of your life and getting your financial situation under control. If you take your attitude I guess youre right, the debt will continue to go up...

No, the culprit of our debt is the pensions. It's because there were too many corrupt goofballs out there who thought just like you: that the purpose of our many layers of Government was to provide as many Government jobs to as many people as possible with impossible to sustain benefits in return for votes--regardless of if all of those jobs were even needed.
If it weren't for that retarded-ness, spending $10M to spruce up a stretch of Riverwalk in one of the greatest cities on this planet would not even be generating this silly little debate you and I are having.
