#2 The Woodstock Institute reported last week foreclosure filings in the six-county Chicago region jumped 67 percent

A Google search also revealed 2 foreclosures, within 25 miles of Arthur, a bit further downstate in Illinois. As best I could tell, neither property was Amish owned.

#3 Is it just me or does it seem to you also like most of the states in trouble are states that have had years and years of failed liberal policies, corruption (Chicago-style politics) high taxes, and are not particularly business-friendly. Maybe Florida is the exception.

#5 New higher tax bills came due... I offered to move out today if my county just cuts me a check for what they have it assessed for.
