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.

All women are interested in is abortion. They don’t care what the price of gas is or the price of food. Or if food is even available.
Everything is about abortion.
100% correct. Republicans would be wise to run pro choice females in certain markets. I don’t like it, but this issue will ultimately be the death of the Republican party.
And not one word about preventing the need for an abortion like abstinence/virginity/safe sex/using protection from either side. Not any mention of the rampant STD’s out there. Nothing just abortion.
Chaos is what they are selling to their willing and gullible constituencies. Destroying what is, with the hope that it will be replaced by some communist utopia led by women and non-whites, where white males are second class citizens. Of course, no such utopia will come to pass, but the destruction is well under way. Except that the useful idiots which comprise the constituency of the left will be the first ones disposed of in the totalitarian society that will follow.
Progressives seem to live in their own world, far removed from the realities that everyday citizens face. Inside the convention, there will be speeches, cheering, and promises, all comfortably cocooned in a bubble of security provided by the Secret Service, thousands of police, the National Guard, and even the U.S. Coast Guard. But how much longer can this fanatical dream last before reality finally sets in, or is it to late already. Ask Venezuela.
