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. Audio here.
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.

Pritzkers statement may be his most concentrated bit of gaslighting yet. Firstly, Pritzker and Democrats are aligned with the international terrorist Venezuelan gang TdA controlled by the cartel boss Maduro, refusing ICE their deportation. Secondly, Pritzker and Democrats have been completely unconcerned with affordability for average citizens as they have increased taxes and fees to all time highs, and dramatically increased power costs, food costs, and inflation.
I would bet more than half these people don’t even know where Venezuela is.
Affordability!!!
JB Pritzker should check with Tim Walz to find out how that magic incantation worked for him.
How dare the president seize a narco criminal. How dare the president seize a wanted criminal. How dare the president cut off millions of dollars in donations to the democrat party. How dare he.
“Governor JB Pritzker reacted to the military strike, calling it “unconstitutional.””
A DOJ attorney secured a grand jury indictment. Little else would be more constitutional.
What’s unconstitutional is JBP’s covid lockdown of approximately 1,155 days…
As usual, the Marxists in power in IL are decrying the downfall of one of their own as the people finally rid of his tyranny are dancing in the streets. But the Marxists know what’s best for you. Run them all out on all levels of government asap.
Didn’t CTU members travel to Venezuela several years ago for that solidarity hug session? I guess it’s just a happenin’ area down there.
Yup, and you read it here first: https://wirepoints.org/the-chicago-teachers-unions-venezuela-solidarity-trip-salute-to-our-tipster-and-certain-teachers/
I dislike many things about Donald, however, this was a brilliant move. I speak Spanish, and I have spoken with easily over 100 Venezuelans over the past few years. They all hate the Maduro. This operation was carried out extremely professionally with minimal collateral damage.
Democrats last week: No Kings! No Dictators!
Democrats today: We Love Maduro!
Awesome stupid quotes from the dumbest people to walk the Earth: Democrats.
One big important message everyone needs to hear and understand to their core:
The only international law is AMERICAN LAW!
