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.

It is really sad to see what has happened with Durbin over the decades. He started out in the 80’s as a moderate downstate Democrat that easily worked with Republicans. He has slid his way into a slobbering, rear end kissing leftie. His worst display was his despicable questioning of Supreme Court justice nominations a few years back. But now he is demonstrating a solid capacity to sink even lower than that pathetic behavior.
Reading Miranda Devine’s 2024 book “Laptop from Hell”, you realize that Joe Biden doesn’t “love” his children, or his family; he blatantly uses them, repeatedly, destructively. Note how dysfunctional the entire Biden Family actually is, the drug-abuse, the mental health issues, the multiple arrests, the amoral conduct, these are not signs of a healthy family or a supportive responsible father. Book notes both Hunter and Beau were mostly raised by their paternal aunt and paternal grandmother, with Joe and Jill playing little meaningful role. Joe Biden is not a good person.
The entire Biden family is evil sick and demented
But Joe Biden pardoned Hunter for all his known and UNKNOWN federal crimes, in attempt to protect himself. Read Miranda Devine’s excellent 2024 book “Laptop from Hell”, which contains pages of verbatim quotes from said laptop. Biden Family is/was a self-created unregistered foreign agent business enterprise, likely committed punishable treason, likely modelled after Clintons’ Foundation but without the obscuring nonprofit element.
Durbin needs to leave.
Here’s an opinion in USA Today on Biden’s pardon.

Do Nothing Dick Durbin proving once again to be a huge waste of oxygen. Please Dick, just sit down and shut up.
Durbin stick your useless head in the sand, Hunter Biden’s pardon has nothing to do with the loving parent syndrome, Joe Biden could care less this pardon was given to protect Joe Biden and Barack Obama from the scandal in Ukrainian politics, both these individuals especially Joe are being blackmailed, this is a way to shut Hunter up, wait till congressional hearings his pardon will not save him.
Biden loved his daughter enough to shower with her
