-- 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.

The Democrat’s war hawks nipped this one in the bud as it is rapidly being walked back. One might opine the war fires are being stoked in DC by the old usual MIC owned politicians that took no time in opposing the letter. Do you really think they care about what is good for this country?
Progressives: “We want the killing to stop”
Xiden’s handlers: “The killing will continue”
Progressives: “Ok”
Chuy…. “Life is like a box a chocolates…”
Intelligence is normally distributed…. Not a surprise where he falls on the distribution…
Kinda crazy that the New Right and the Progressive Caucus are both anti-war. That’s about the only common ground between the two.
It sure is. Of course, those progressives immediately turned tail and ran as soon as the Dem establishment heard about it. There is no dissent within the Dem party because none is allowed. Think about it. Nothing. But lots of things are fought about within the Republican Party — Ukraine, Trump haters vs Trumpers, Mitch McConnell haters, lots of fights over what to do about big tech and antitrust, split votes on the federal bailout measures and everything else that “RINO” haters would call out.
Seems the Republicans have a healthier dynamic – Dems are like the Stepford Wives.
