Thompson Illinois Correctional Facility-A Joke

"Congress will adjourn this week without providing the money to buy the empty Thomson Correctional Center, yet again casting doubt over the future use of the long-dormant prison."

Ladies and Gentlemen: I bring you a blurb from an Iowa newspaper, the Quad City Times. I knew I had written about the Thompson, Illinois Correctional Center some time ago. Yep! It was Dec. 15, 2009. The Obama Administration along with Illinois US Senator, Dick Durbin, were touting the job creation that would be achieved when the federal government took over the now empty prison. Jobs, jobs, jobs, the twerp Durbin told America. Hah! This was to be the place where Gitmo prisoners would be sent after we closed that horrendous tropical Bastille. I laughed thinking that the stone cold winters would surround terrorists in pig country. Pigs feet and entrails all around. What could be better?
It can now be told. The government, federal and state do not have the money to complete the project-----and probably never will. It was all a phony hoax as is the case when dealing with guvment people.
