-- 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.

Just another example of what a total jackass Pigster is
Ben Shapiro on the radio now mocking JB, IL high unemployment rate, our crime rate, our “abortion oasis”.
LOL
IL is the whipping boy of conservative media, and the left, who live in a bubble, are too dumb to even know how mocked they really are.
Pritzker,Gavin, Murphy now that’s a scary trio.
The one question that exposes these clowns:
What would you have done differently than Biden?
Pritzker is the world’s largest lapdog.
Is there anyone who really believes that Dementia Joe can run, much less win, in 2024? He’s 18 months into his presidency, and everything he’s touched has turned into a hot mess. He can’t even read a teleprompter, and Dr. Jill does everything but wipe the drool off his chin when she leads him around. This is a case of elder abuse, and nothing more. The progressives pulled a fast one on the United States of America in 2020, with Georgia being the last piece of their puzzle to control everything, but they couldn’t keep it together long enough to… Read more »
The 2020 election was stolen because Democrats took a dozen or more illegal policy actions to ensure a win. The BIG LIE is that the 2020 election was completely legit. Democrats aren’t just going to lose in 2022 or 2024 and say “Republicans won fair and square, we governed so poorly, we deserve to lose!” heck no, they’re going to steal it again.
I don’t know what evidence you have, but every election fraud claim Trump’s lawyers made were dismissed for lack of it, and there lots of such claims made. I think you might have had some of his brand of Kool Aid and become a little addled by it.
not one case was dismissed on the validity or volume of evidence. all were dismissed based on procedural decisions. and only 3 out of 80 cases were allowed the presentation of evidence, and those 3 were cherry picked to be the weakest but even they turned up fraud and were of course promptly ignored. Also, what you are doing James is called an “Appeal to Authority”, and it’s a logical fallacy. By the way, please read Emerald Robinson’s’ latest “Kool aid” regarding Georgia’s Fulton County recount: the Dec. recount numbers DO NOT MATCH the vote tally of Nov. 2020. Gee,they… Read more »
Far easier to believe a dementia patient that couldn’t draw 100 people to a school gymnasium not only garnered the most votes in history but won those votes in fewer counties than 2012 Obama (509 vs 689), while substantially outperforming Hillary in the exact Dem stronghold precincts needed to win in the five states necessary for electoral college victory, despite underperforming Hillary every where else across the nation. Coincidentally, in the same year mail-in ballots became the rage in Dem run states/districts. After seeing justice not delivered for sedition tied to a four year fabricated Russia scam and illegal survelliance… Read more »
What I think is really funny is the same people that were claiming Russia interfered with the election in 2016 now state that there was no fraud in the 2020 election.
