BBC News: Chicago Shuts Down
Public services in the US city of Chicago have been shut down for a day as the authorities face an expected budget shortfall of some $300m (£184m).
Non-essential services such as rubbish collections, libraries and health centres were closed, in the first of three planned reduced service days.

Libraries and schools are shutting down because of the shortage of fund, while bankers are receiving tens of billions in bonus.
These two events are not independent, but the former is dependent on the latter. Averge 11th form student can see.

Why are bankers still getting bonuses then?
It's just theft - pure and simple. I predict a riot!
