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.

Dick, I’ll give you a gold star if you can tell me the name of a Palestinian who murdered a front running Democratic Presidential candidate in 1968 in Los Angeles. Go ahead and say his name.
The Turdbin wants to make sure that those that hate America have all the time they need to plot and carry out attacks on Americans.
Palestinians have proven their stubborn inability to adjust to reality. Since 1948 the Arab world doesn’t want them. For good reason. Neither do we. Immigrant Palestinians will remain antisemitic jihadist terrorists living off of welfare in the US. This is idiocy.
More immigrants…just what we in the USA needs.
Another shot at culturally dividing America by the Illinois’ favorite baby butcher and gun grabber! Guess Dickie was not spooked by the massive Muslim demonstrations recently that scared his wealthy backers.
