That is a most interesting suggestion, Comrade Opiate. The Obamessiah's
NEW New Deal will most definitely take this under consideration.
BTW it's not a state pen, it's a re-education and higher learning (
how to steal the people's money, influence political appointments, fix elections, etc.) center.
How unfortunate that the Gov took his wife's advise. Seems she is very progressive too.

Patricia Blagojevich has a personal history of friction with The Chicago Tribune. The newspaper has published a series of critical articles on her real estate dealings with politically connected clients.
In an Oct. 19 article, the Tribune reported that since Rod Blagojevich began raising money in 2000 for his first run for governor, the first lady's home-based River Realty, Inc. earned more than $700,000 in commissions -- and that "more than three-quarters came from clients with connections."
One such deal, reported on last year, involved the $650,000 sale of a condo from a businessman who later won $10 million in no-bid state contracts.
The Tribune reported that the first lady earned a likely commission of between $26,000 and $39,000 in the sale.
The newspaper also reported that Mrs. Blagojevich also had a long business relationship with
Antonin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago developer and former Obama fundraiser who was convicted on fraud charges earlier this year. The Blagojeviches reportedly refuse to disclose how much the real estate company made off Rezko.
The governor and his supporters have called the reports "Neanderthal" and "sexist."
I say, what is wrong with wanting to assure the continued support of the fair housing distribution in their great state? The realestate community has been very accommodating of the progressive Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in Chicago, setting a wonderful example for the rest of the country to follow.
Surely, Media, our new
propaganda Cube reporter, should start an
immediate investigation of the Chicago Tribune for their malicious false attacks on the good Governor B's wife!
outraged at the allegations being made!
