Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
A lengthy article illuminating the Chicago Public Schools challenges facing Johnson, that doesn’t once mention the fact that CPS has proven incapable of teaching kids to read, write and add at grade level at vast and crippling taxpayer expense.
Over 80% of CPS students ‘graduate’ from high school even though well over two thirds of them have failed to achieve academic goals, and almost half have been chronically truant.
Not a word about about those facts from our union friends at the Sun Times, and not by accidental omission either.
What’s next? Bankruptcy
Mayor Johnson is beholden to CTU, needs to “make good” on huge huge huge CTU campaign financial and manpower contributions towards his successful election.
Await huge huge huge concessions to CTU.
And remember, 80% of Chicago revenues go towards funding pensions, but pensions are only 25% funded on average. Look for RE Taxes to double within next two years.
