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.

It makes sense only when you understand they are sacrificing child to their God much like parents did to Moloch millennia ago. They – parents, progressives, doctors, ideologues- are sacrificing their biological children. That’s what a ‘dead name’ means.

“Sex change” surgery is simply *cosmetic* surgery, and *no* public monies should be provided for this “vanity” medical procedure. And as I’ve mentioned before, this surgery on minors is *criminal* sexual assault; even a Dr. Mengele would blanch at this. It would be *great* to eventually see Nuremberg – style trials for the CREEPS that push this sickening “ideology”…
If kids can get free sex change surgery then old people should get free face lifts.
transwomen get free boob jobs paid for by insurance but cis women do not.
Why are taxpayers paying for treatments and surgeries that are not medically necessary when There are people denied medically necessary treatments and surgeries.
You have to remember certain people claim that the treatments and surgeries are medically necessary. The only thing that should be covered is the mental health care needed for these people.
No surprise that Illinois is one of the league leaders in state sponsored child mutilation. Governor Happy Warrior is a warped individual committed to this endeavor. If he isn’t killing them in the womb, he’s mutilating them as children, and he wants you to pay for it. It’s no wonder people continue to leave the state.
