-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --

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.

Again with the gun’s fault. Guns don’t kill people, people that are continually released into society and yutes with no sense of right or wrong kill people, usually with guns. Foxx, Kwame, Dart and the rest of the “ empty jails “ cabal seem to ignore this fact.
Mayor Root Cause is getting all raggedy again. He doesn’t have a clue on how to fix anything, so he rambles on about disinvestment in marginalized communities. Here’s some truth for you Brando. You can’t throw endless billions that you don’t have at a problem you don’t even know is fixable. Patience is wearing thin on both sides. Law abiding citizens are tired of living in fear, and the thugs and gangbangers aren’t interested in behaving themselves and actually improving their lot in life. It won’t be any different in 20 years.
Remember what Zippy says” The youngins
Are only funnin”, don’t be callin them little
Capones.
He’s not really trying to fix anything. He just wants to redistribute money to his community under the guise of fixing ‘gun violence’. Because anyone who pays attention sees that the community on its own is doing very little to stop the violence. The solution is quite simple: stop shooting at each other and do something productive instead. There plenty of opportunities. Especially in the O’Biden era, they’ll bend over backwards to give minorities opportunities. Just don’t mess it up!
He knows how to spend 30 thousand on his make-up and gtooming for appearances last year!!!
“long-term investments” = Higher taxes
Throw the %$&! shooters in jail and keep them there!
Long term investments = more money from taxpayers = the white people we want to drive out of town.
