-- 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. 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.

I’m telling you the DNC is going to be a nothingburger …. unless there’s some astroturfed social justice issue that becomes the focus of the media. Most DNC delegates just want to party at the wine bars while others pay to take home call girls at night. They don’t want any protests. It ain’t going to happen. The watched pot never boils over.
Hahaha this is going to be hilarious to watch all these leftist psychos, hey BLM didn’t need a permit to burn down and loot the city but was encouraged by all the morons in government there, but don’t worry mayor brainless bj is on it! Not to worry lol
The left has become steadily more violent in their “protests”. This violence and rioting will continue because their demands will never be met. It won’t end until this violent rioting fringe is completely discredited politically and the voters elect politicians with the courage to enforce the law and imprison these thugs. This violent tendency is the achilles heel of the Democrat Party and will lead to their eventual failure.
Leftist activists can’t get a permit during the Democrat party convention as in Democrats censoring their own? Well if the activists’ get angry I would suggest an alternative to vote for.
Its going to be absolutely hilarious to watch this clown show self destruct
Democrats break the law constantly. They actually want a permit to protest? I thought all the “mostly peaceful” protests and burning of buildings in 2020 was their right and they didn’t have a permit then. I say they should go for it.
We have a Constitutional right to peaceable assembly. no permit required.
That’s right, is it a peaceable assembly when you block the road and someone misses their flight or dies in an ambulance on their way to the hospital.
certainly not.
The left likes to virtue signal they are peaceful while they burn down and loot the city, remember all the corporate propagandist illuminati media, oh wait I mean media, saying oh these are peaceful protestors while they were burning down and looting the stores and city…..no permit required for them, it was not only done but encouraged
