Summary and audio linked here.
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.

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.

I should be kinder to Black people. They are God’s children too. I am sorry.
Yes, they are. And individuals should be judged individually and not by skin color. Also, change the name you use here and start providing your real email address so that I can assure you are not mimicking another commenter.
You will be removed from this site for mimicking me because you are a gutless anti American coward. You are a supporter of blm and Antifa and a coward who hides in the shadows. Come forward coward.
You’re a systemic racist.
I’m beginning to believe that “people of color” can do no wrong. It appears that every single problem in their communities is the fault of white people (sarc).
They refuse to distance , smoke and drink at every playground, have house parties, constantly loot burn and riot and its the fault of trump and white people.
Having lived on Chicago’s West Side, I know this is true .☹️
Free will can’t be stopped, unless the USA becomes China 2 or North Korea 2. ?
