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.

Yes — high hotel bills are the outrage — not the murder of innocent babies — since Pritzker has made himself the commandant of this infant death camp, he should make his hotels free for that purpose
Spot on Giddy. JB could even run a Hyatt special along this line. “No Fetus Will Beat Us” could be his slogan.
The sign that says I love someone who had an abortion makes me sick. JB is jumping up and down with excitement about the increase. Wait no way he can do that but you know what I mean. We have become a Godless society seems like in a blink of an eye.
Have you heard one word out of his mouth about abstinence/virginity/birth control or waiting? Not one word. Only what to do “after” not prevent from needing an abortion.
Birth control is free, plan B available. Adoption or even dropping off baby at fire station, etc. Plenty of options.
True but have you or anyone heard our so called leaders mention any of those options? Not one word. To them abortion is birth control and nothing mentioned about the STD’s running rampant in our society.
JB is more than birth control to the left. It’s more than health care. Abortion is a holy sacrament.

Parents back then killed their children for Moloch for the same reasons why women today kill their babies – they don’t want to raise the child. Just as then, as now, it becomes a spiritual experience, and visiting the ‘doctor’ to sacrifice your own child to the alter of ‘health care’ and ‘bodily autonomy’ and ‘feminism’ is the exact same thing as… Read more »

I love someone who didn’t personally have an abortion, but his child was aborted (by a long ago girlfriend). That lost child haunts him to this day. This abortion policy is the one thing above all else that makes us ashamed of our state.
There is never any discussion of all the people who end up without a sibling an aunt or uncle/grandparents/nieces and nephews or mostly the father. None of these have any say whatsoever. In special circumstances like the health of the mother or fetus there should be options. Best course of action is to avoid the need for an abortion but our leaders do not even say one word about it. Sad!
