-- 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.

Why don’t I see anyone trying to stop him , China joe, from signing any more executive orders or bills before his mental capacity is established.
The reverse Wizard of Oz scenario.
Do not be fooled by the doddering grifter you see before you. We, the anointed, have been privileged to visit the inner sanctum behind the curtain. We can assure you that behind that curtain the Great Oz possesses all the mental powers to bring our country a glorious bounty of greatness.
The Great Oz has no need to demonstrate these powers to you, the ordinary plebes. Our testament is more than enough proof.
Do these people even listen to themselves? And they call Trump supporters cultists.
Well stated – thank you.
The only reason that Biden is running because Trump is. If Haley somehow wins the nomination or if Trump drops out (won’t happen) Biden would most like drop out. He would be replaced by someone the Party picks and it won’t be Harris. Maybe even JB at the last moment?? Just a guess.
Newson Freddy Pritzker’s own party nope.
Joe Biden is a criminal, and just like Whitey Bulger stand trial.
This memory loss will eventually affect most of us that’s why we have a rocking chair on the front porch and not a throne behind the president’s desk in the white house.
Spin, spin, spin.
They are moving forward trying to reelect the obviously diminished Biden and may well succeed. If we had some real journalists, they could dig in and find out who is actually calling the day to day shots in this administration. Instead of rehashing the “too old” narrative, ignore the palaver and ask some real questions and don’t stop until you get some real answers.
We know who is calling the shots, it’s right in front of your face. it’s Jill Biden as the gatekeeper and Obama’s former staff, now his staff. They meet, come to a consensus with Joe around, and then make a decision, usually a bad and incompetent. Obama gets a call once in a while for his input.
That is a meme- usually found in right leaning commentary. It may in fact be the case; then again perhaps not. My point is there used to be media journalists who would determine the facts and report to the public. Now, we predominately have advocates for generally progressive and conservative aspirations. Instead of objective reporting we are inundated with click bait which feeds the division and polarity. The Biden condition has all the elements of a very big story- where are the journalists digging for the public’s right to know?
Gotta be Jill Biden. Everything about the state of the union screams that a Doctor of Education must be running the show.
Typical media. Run a story heavy on partisan defenders’ opinions, and fail to mention the specific memory lapses reported in the interview with Biden. “We won’t tell you what you need to know, but we’ll tell you how the left wants you to react to it.”
Crocodile tears and an easily spotted trail of drool from the corner of Pritzgers mouth. He desperately hopes that Joe makes it’s just close enough to the finish line so that he can slip in and become the most obese president since William Taft.
Did we expect anything different from JB? The guy has no integrity and lacks any sense of moral compass.
As to his comment about smelling a rat? Well, it is surprising he can smell that, at all, as it is the odor that emanates from Jabba himself.
Keep talking JB, every comment you make only further validates each and every criticism that comes to light – no one buys what you are selling – you’re only popular so long as you can keep sprinkling manna from heaven onto your crowd of useful idiots.
I remember when the MSM pukes merrily railed about President Reagan being “senile” in the last years of his presidency,,, but Potatoe – Head Biden’s infirmities rival those of President Wilson; even FDR, who was in terrible shape in his last years, comes off as “vigorous” compared to Olde Joe. “Dr”. Jill and Obama’s goons are the puppetmasters pulling the WH “strings”… even the NYT aka “The American Pravda” has this alarum as their second lead today (paywalled, some excerpts below): Inside Biden’s Protective White House The White House’s cloistered nature reflects the concern of aides who worry that even… Read more »
Here’s the thing, Merrik Garland from what I understand allowed the report to be released so Pritzker and his party should blame nobody else or point fingers but at themselves.
“-1”, I hope Pritzker pays you well for your contributions on every topic. What’s the matter? Not informed enough, forbidden from writing a reply, or protecting your paycheck? “-1’s” all up and down this topic. We all get it, you gotta do what you gotta do. Why don’t you just go outside and play?
Good thing is Biden won’t remember the nuclear codes. lol
Pelosi brought this up when Trump was Prez now it comes back to haunt dotard FJB!!
“Who is Nancy Pelosi?”… lol…
One of Obama’s henchman will tell him exactly what the numbers are and show him how to put them in. If Biden is dumb enough to do that he should and WILL suffer the consequences.
