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.

This post probably does not belong under illegal migrant diet issues…but I recently saw a You Tube video that sent chills down my spine. You Tube’s Real Estate Investing and Landlord news features a video of an illegal migrant explaining how to steal people’s homes in the U.S. via squatting. The tiktok got like millions of hits I think. Recently a “squatter removal expert” predicted squatting is going to escalate in states with stupid laws like Illinois.

Choice and dignity for border crashers here illegally demanding everything. That’s rich.
Well, of course, we need to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. Pay no attention to actual citizens in need of help, the Vet Programs and Vet homelessness…never mind. Next, we will be providing psychological support and conducting meetings for illegals with stress who have been triggered by their treatment. Along the way we will also provide attorneys to help file law suits against Chicago, IL and the US for their treatment and the tax payers will be required to pay damages…due to the illegals pain and suffering.
Let ’em eat cake, the sorry bastards.
How much care goes into determining the diet for homeless citizens?
When does Chicago start feeding citizens?
DEPORT each and everyone one of them … including anchor babies.
Thank you, Joe Biden, for making our country the world’s dumping ground. I can only hope karmic justice exists.
It does …..just listen to him talk sometime if you can……repulsive when he talks and sniffs everything…disgusting at best!!
Gee, what’d they eat in Venezuela?
Probably better food with less additives. If you look at the photos of the jumpers how many look malnourished? Most look healthy and not underweight like the people we see in war zones in other parts of the globe.
There is still plenty of food in Venezuela; the farms still grow food, the cows still produce milk, the orchards still produce fruit. The problems in Venezuela are the breakdown of the infrastructure and logistic systems to get food into the cities. The people from the rural areas aren’t starving. This is different from the historical Russian and Chinese communist systems where the Russians confiscated and then killed the Kulaks who produced the food, so none of them wanted to grow food. The Chinese moved urban people out to rural areas, and they had no idea how to farm, so… Read more »
