Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

How am I not surprised?
lock every one of them up….
Who the criminals or politicians? Both!
So Chicago burns to the ground, and Democrat structural and institutional racism is responsible, not the criminals who actually destroyed property. I feel like my world is completely upside down – left is right, right is left, 1 + 1 = 5 and the sky is red not blue.
It’s always racism, guns and now trucks are to blame, not the actual thugs. When I say thugs, it can be anyone of any color, any gender, any whatever at the so called protests.
All colors, races and creeds of thugs were present at these riots. Any ‘peaceful protestor’ who says in the crowd one minute past curfew is immediately transformed into a rioter and looter even if they are not actively engaging in mayhem.
Look behind the scenes. Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
