-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Couldn’t be happier, we need a LOT more!
I find it hard to believe that ALL the workers on a roofing crew, or ALL the immigrants that work at a Home Depot location would have criminal behavior in their background. So much for only going after the hardened criminals with record of committing crimes. This administration is using gestapo tactics and upending lives of both immigrants and the people that hire them. Uncalled for and dangerous.
If you break the law you are a criminal.
Crossing the boarder illegally is illegal :O
Entering the country and staying here without even beginning the process to become a citizen is illegal.
So is speeding.
People caught speeding aren’t generally receiving every social service available and don’t have a higher than average chance of being a felon in their land of origin.
I believe it’s a crime to aid and abet felons . Where are these village police?
Attacking the poorest people in our society is shameful. Most are good hard workers who do jobs that the lazy pot head American kids will not take. Trump has had lots of them work at his hotels and do construction work on his projects.
500,000 criminals, rapists , terrorists , murders and gangbangers came in thanks to Biden . Plus there are probably another million know one knows about .
Go to any Contruction site and it is filled with Latin workers. Go to any manufacturing plant and it is filled with Latin workers. My house got a new roof, gringo contractor with Latin workers. I got my house painted by a gringo contractor with Latin workers. They are good solid citizens. They are much better than the lazy uneducated white kids living in their parents’ basements, playing video games and smoking legal pot all day.
Illegals are taking jobs from US citizens and working for slave wages. This forces salaries down. Remember when illegals were removed from meat packing plants out west? The line for jobs applicants by US citizens was long.
