-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --

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.

So here comes Omicron along to “save” him. Oil price drop, gas prices drop. Cover for rising inflation? Yes lets shut down the demand again by closing economies. Then blame Omicron. Do you not find all the developments from Friday and this new variant slightly staged? New name at the ready? Vaccines already under development? Absolutely wonderful global co-operation on shutting down travel – makes me think how could governments be so efficient? Omicron allows the Democrats to make make mail in ballots compulsory in 2022. We know what this means. As law abiding citizens we are dealing with something… Read more »
Dems will do everything they can to reprise the election scam of 2020. Poll workers will again try to mail or hand deliver ballots to every name on the voter registration lists.

They’ll be helped in this effort by the unaware from Chicago and East St. Louis who as yet are oblivious to the existence of Covid.
It would be obvious to a tree stump! I spent Thanksgiving with some woke SJWs they asked me if I gotten my booster yet! The nuts are everywhere! Get a booster for something that doesn’t work? That’s logical. As in all things, follow the money.
My friend this all has been staged since the beginning
I am afraid you are correct.
Unbelievable. Nuremberg we should go for crimes against humanity.
It’s funny how the media tries to prop up the old geezer every chance they get. He has failed at everything he has tried. It is hard to recall an administration that couldn’t execute one thing at even a mediocre level. Those poll numbers probably understate the extent to which people disapprove of President Mumbles. We have a minimum age for presidents, and it’s time to put a maximum age cap in as well. This guy couldn’t run a lemonade stand.
This guy couldn’t run a lemonade stand. Biden isn’t running the government. He has a cabal of people behind him making decisions for him and he’s just the figurehead. He has some input when he’s lucid earlier in the day but often the decisions are being made by Jill Biden, his Chief of Staff Klain, Susan Rice, and a couple of others. Kamala has been completely sidelined of any decisions. The cabal actually making the decisions are like a regency behind a senile or feeble royal King. They don’t really care about public perception because they know they hold power… Read more »
