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.

Well, ya know…Iowa is all evangelical Christians, come on that’s what all the media outlets are calling regular people in the united states. Iowa is made up of the same types of people in most states… the fat man is calling most of us weak because we want secure boarders, better economy, low inflation, NO wars… This liberal crap has got to go, where is the common sense?
Pritzker looks like a fool every time he opens his mouth. Trump set a record in Iowa by being the first Republican to get more than 50% of the vote, and also obliterating the prior victory margin over his nearest competitor. Pritzker says that shows weakness in yet another weak ass Jedi mind trick attempt. Make no mistake, Trump faces a huge challenge in overcoming the mainstream media attempts to prevent his defeat of the worst president in modern times, but to suggest his Iowa victory demonstrated weakness is absolutely laughable.
Short fat man JB also forgot to mention that in 2018, over half the state’s Democrat’s voted against him in the primary too. LOL
