|  "Gov. Quinn is staying on his course, no matter how detrimental the outcome to 
hardworking and struggling families in this state. I would like to see the 
governor more engaged in finding solutions to our fiscal mess." Brauer 
continued: "No one is talking about entitlements. It's important that we put our 
entitlement programs back into balance and take the spending pressure off the 
pensions. Actually, Medicaid spending in Illinois has doubled in the past five 
years, and we must implement those ‘hard fixes' by improving oversight to 
cut fraud as well as add residency and recertification requirements."
