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.

Let’s keep it simple. Everyone has to obey the law. Reagan gave amnesty to illegals, and the problem has snowballed since then.
An option was offered by the Trump team to illegals, including $1000, a ticket to their home country, and an option to apply to return *legally,* but these people didn’t accept it.
