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.

There won’t be a line out the door to vote Republican, that’s not how life works…unfortunately.
All of this shouting and complaining, wait until the next election and the screamers and shouters vote for the candidates with a D in front of their name. As the saying goes, you cant fix stupid
I compare this to a situation at the Granite City Steel plant some years ago. The Steelworkers were wanting tariffs. Trump, after being elected, traveled to that plant to announce his new steel tariffs. The very next day the union line was to downplay Trump’s actions blah blah etc. We have seen so often that the loyal Democrats often spout off frequently but at the end of the day they always return to the Democrat party fold.
The lack of polling is a clear sign Blacks and Mexicans have abandoned the Democratic party!! Also, a well known secret, among people that talk to the Venezuelans, is that all of them are radical conservatives. They escaped from a socialist hell hole for jobs. Some of them walked 2000 miles to get here for a job. I think we’re going to see a shelter riot if these people don’t get work permits soon.
This I find difficult to believe.
No one walked 2,000 miles.
The Great Replacement is real, folks, but it’s not replacing whites. It’s Democrats replacing their Black voters with a much, much less shooty and murdery, Latinks voters. Chicagoan George Blakemore has been abandoned by the Democrat Party but the Democrat Party doesn’t care, because he doesn’t vote, his ballot is harvested Democrat anyway. And it’s not like he’ll ever vote Republican, given the Republican Party stance on reparations, abortion and affirmative action….
Politics is blood sport folks, and only the introduction of democracy ended the Game of Thrones that previous civilizations engaged in.
He needs to be reminded of which party was responsible for Jim Crow laws, the KKK and made sure the President that freed the slaves wasn’t on the ballot in the south. They need look no further than the fact all the leaders of the Democratic party are White-not a black face in the bunch of them.
You can scream it at him until he’s deaf in the ears but he probably won’t care or change his vote. Like I said, the community will never become Republican because of our views on abortion, DIE, affirmation action and welfare benefits. There is a small, but growing, and politically disenfranchised group of primarily black men who understand that abortion, DIE, affirmation action and welfare are precisely the problems that enable many of the communities’ problems. They live this life every day and it has red pilled them. They see the problems in the community and it’s as simple as… Read more »
