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.

‘Ghost Gun’ is yet another made-up term from Democrats to make it appear as though they are accomplishing something. Ranks right up there with other Democrat fantasies, such as ‘Assault Rifle’, ‘Putin’s Price Hike’, ‘Wage Gap’, and ‘Climate Emergency’.

Have the Communist Socialist Democratis fools ever seen Youtube videos of Peshawar Paki gunsmiths sitting on bare ground while building semiauto pistols? Does anyone remember P.A. Luty’s book describing building a functional smg from common hardware store items without a machine shop? The book… Read more »
No such thing as a ghost gun. It’s a term being used to scare people. The guns used in crimes are usually stolen anyway, what effect will this bill truly have? When will they start prosecuting and enforcing the sentences given to those who break the guns laws already in place, even Federal gun laws. I suggest we start with Joe Biden’s son who lied on his application stating he doesn’t have a drug problem. Stop trying to placate the voters, though, for those who get their news via Tik Tok, it seems to be working.
