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.

She/he/it is an idiot. The common cold is a virus and as affected billions of people on this earth. Guess what? No friggin cold virus vaccine. AIDS has been a scourge worldwide for 50 yrs. Guess what, no vaccine. She/he/it is an idiot.
We have been waiting 35 years for an HIV vaccine. Just saying.
At least until the election in November. Got to keep the sheep worried, have to make sure that any relief money from DC is properly distributed to alderclowns and cronies, buy a few huge $2000 masks for the statues, cattle cars(CTA), and airports. Pick up a few fully loaded new SUV’s, cellphones, mobile equipment for the moowers and taxpayer pocket pickers. A few parades with massive fireworks.
And if anything is left, spread it amongst the poor taxpayers still waiting to get back to work and avoid the landlord and debt collectors.
She is guessing– there is no science.
