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. Audio here.
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.

Who was it that unilaterally canceled out Constitutional rights after they gave themselves executive powers to do so? It most certainly was not President Trump. Pritzker is the one who has behaved like a dictator. The adage of “whatever Leftist Democrats accuse President Trump of doing, they themselves are doing” continues to hold true.
Mancow 5:30-9:00
He speaks the RAW truth about American enemies such as pritzger, lightfoot.
Give BJ a chance. He spent daddy’s good (tax cheated) money to buy the governorship and wants a seat at the adult table. All his life he’s been the rich, fat,dork and now is his chance to stand up to that big meanie Trump. $171 million to learn the simple truth that you’re still that rich, fat dork and always will be. I feel guilty watching but I can’t stop.
Pritzker is a toothless governor . Why would he cares – its not his business . When its come to his affairs – Toilets are not an issue!
He’s like Baghdad Bob
Now crazy Dictator for Life Jabba thinks he can repeal the Insurrection Act by the mere wave of his hand!
hey fatty its called the insurrection act…its a law already on the books, unlike your illegal edicts that went past the 30 day limit : “Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”
Really calling trump a dictator, he ass- – le look in the mirror and you do not see a dictator in yourself. You are such a fool, just drop tator off dictator and you have your answer about yourself Pritzker
Flounder pulls a page from the Saul Alinsky handbook. Acuse your opponent of that which you are. When does the crew down in Springfield tire of this buffoon bringing attention to their scam, the ponzi that is Illinois?
Saul’s Alinsky, a Chicago original.
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” Alinsky Rule 4
This is what Trump is doing to the Leftists, right now. It’s kinda beautiful, in an odd way.
Ever since day 1, he’s been setting traps for the left, and the fools just keep walking into them.
JB is defending Lori’s absolute failure. Meanwhile in New York, Gov. Cuomo has threatened to ‘displace’ NYC mayor De Blasio over his failure to control looting and rioting.
IL is such a failure on every level.
Your earned it Democrats!
I guess Flounder doesn’t realize the governorship will do for him what mayorship did for Rahm.
I do not think that Pritzker understands–Trump can send in the troops. Obviously Pritzker wants to see Illinois go down in flames.
Lori said, and I quote: “We’ll see him in court.” So while military is patrolling the streets of Chicago, Lori is going to file paperwork in court. hahahahahha, Oh Lori, you’re so powerless, and you know it too! how about saying “we’ve got this under control now, things are back to normal, we don’t need the military!” Instead, she says that “Trump is trying to win reelection and appeal to his base, I’m not going to let him do that, We’ll see him in court” Not that the residents are protected, but, stop Trump’s reelection. They’re… Read more »
It’s shameful. Trump understands the cities are under attack. Lori wants to litigate that in court. I say he does it and asks for forgiveness later. A judge is going to issue an injunction against the deployment of troops to save the general public? Guess what he can do – martial law time. If it saves the republic, it will be worth it. This is his Churchill moment.
When the feds come,they will knock and push aside anything she could try. They have the power to arrest her. as she keeps and uses all the power to keep chicago burning.That is what the DEMS really want,a wastland for the slaves that vote for all of this.Make them beg for their bread,and they will still vote Dem.
Never let a good crises go to waste. See playbook rules in how to manipulate chaos and incite citizenry fears in order to declare a State of Emergency and receive a Federal Bailout to cover decades of city and state financial malfeasance from under-funding pensions to political graft.
Trump has got JB on the defensive. Because JB can’t say things are now under control. Because things are not under control. Democrats own this 100%.
guess we will find out, huh JB..sort of like extending the lock down when the 30 days are clearly up ? You mean like that ?
Dictator. That’s cute, Jay Bob.
