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.

Casten: “Blah, blah, blah.” Translation: “We need more Hispanics and welfare recipients here, to vote for us Democrats.”
Unicorn fart sniffers such as Casten always adroitly dance around the massive amount of tax dollars spent on providing for the illegals, the crime they’ve brought with them as well as diseases ( when was the last time America had an uptick in TB, whooping cough and various related respiratory diseases? ) from a populace that feels personal medical care is a concern only when paid for by others . He must really dig sidewalk flea markets, unlicensed and unclean taco/ tamale trucks and curbside car repairs.
I was wondering what became of Knucklehead Casten and his pal Dunderhead Foster. The ‘Knuckle-Dunder’ duo has been delightfully quiet since their fellow leftists got shellacked last November. Alas, Knucklehead Casten is back, appearing not on Fox Business, but on the Biden mouthpiece podcast that is leftist Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power”.

I see who Casten represents, and it’s no me or my neighborhood
Sean “Captain Arrogance” Casten just can’t read the room. Like his fellow progressive extremist the Happy Warrior, he tries misdirection and falsehoods. Trump is going after illegals, and Illinois is overrun with them. He can start with those that arrived as a result of the Biden Administration’s gross negligence and malfeasance. You know Sean, the wave that produced the Venezuelan gangbangers causing chaos and mayhem. Don’t worry Sean, you can sit back doing nothing, as usual. Your Daddy Trump is going to clean up this mess.
Trump wants to target illegals in blue states the most to reduce their populations by the time the 2030 census comes around a year after his term ends. Which is great, because Trump will be long gone from politics to see the long term results of his deportation wave. It’s much like an old man planting trees he will never see grow into the forest type of situation.
There’s one in NYC who’s been here a while too and he’s contributing to the mayhem on the subway.
