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.

When I see Governor Fata$$, what comes to mind is the saying,” Fat ,drunk and stupid is no way to go through life sir” . Luckily for him, he is a trust fund baby.
Animal House Dean Wormer speaking. “It’s hard to go through life fat, dumb and stupid JB”.
And Jumbo Belly was a fat, spoiled slob of a rich kid long before Donald Trump and he still is. So what?
Pritzker is an enemy of America, stupid, ignorant, incompetent creature who deserves nothing but hatred and boycott. Prizker is doing everything to crash families, kill our children, annihilate us as Americans. He is a traitor and his whole family is a family of corrupt criminals.
THAT;S WHY HE LIKES OBIDEN
We can finally take the gloves off, way to go You putz. People get out your English to Yiddish dictionary find some good old fashioned Yiddish words for that fat a.. who Could not care less for the people in Illinois. While governor in Illinois baby Huey has covered himself and family as follows: Does not stay in Illinois much but spends more time in Lake Geneva,WI. Has tried to steal 300,000 from Illinois by ripping out toilets from an old mansion and getting a property tax reduction. Will bankrupt Illinois with increased taxes, Calling Illinois residents carnival barkers And… Read more »
“ The Baby Elephant Walk “ would be suitable entry music for governor Parade Balloon.
Guv Pigchop needs to first fix the fiscal mess called Taxistan.
Glad I voted with my feet and left this sheeet hole over 20 years ago!!
Shouldn’t the fat man be here in Illinois solving problems. His opinion of Trump doesn’t matter to me, apparently the fat man thinks his “fans” will do what he says and think how he thinks. His opinion of everything is driven by the benefit it provides for him. These people have to go. Its laughable listening to this blow hard billionaire call another billionaire stupid. Nothing this jackass says relates to real issues or real solutions.
PLUS TRUMP EARNED HIS MONEY AND TOOK NO SALARY WHILE PRESIDENT AND TRIED TO SAVE AMERICANS MONEY……DID JP GIVE HIS SALARY TO CHARITY LIKE TRUMP???……..OF COURSE NOT HE’S TO GREEDY
Well said
Pritzker is campaigning to replace Biden. He’s building name recognition out-of-state, because otherwise Democrats on either coast don’t know him. But have no doubt, JB’s already running – quite hard, as a matter-of-fact, though with some “deniability” cover. He can self-finance entire presidential campaign even if only officially-tapped in Aug 2024.
Our Democrat friends in Virginia have no idea who he is.
And they’ll collectively say “next candidate, please” when they find out he’s a rich, obese unwavering Israel supporter.
“And they’ll collectively say ‘next candidate, please’ when they find out he’s a rich, white, male obese Jewish unwavering Israel supporter” Being white, male and Jewish are probably his biggest demerits in the eyes of the extreme woke lefties who seem to be in control of the Democrat Party. Being rich is not in and of itself a disqualification, nor is being obese necessarily (see: Stacy Abrams) and being white and male doesn’t seem to have hurt Gavin Newsom too much, but given the intensity of the split in the Dems over Gaza — to the point where Biden is… Read more »
Money rules every time. The Israel issue isn’t a serious DNC concern, just useful street-theatre to keep the progressives busy.
Very scary, quite dismaying, but very plausible Pritzker will purchase himself spot on DNP ticket this Fall. Maybe VP slot will satisfy him, maybe not.

Poll: Most young Americans think Israel should be ‘ended and given to Hamas’
Majority of all respondents support Israel, but results from 18-24 age group show majority think IDF campaign ‘genocidal,’ while saying calls for genocide of Jews are legitimate
* * * * * * *
Overall, 73% of respondents said the onslaught was genocide, and similarly 73% believed it to be unjustified.
Most young Americans can’t find Israel on a map and think Hamas is a charity.
But those young voters won’t vote for Trump. They’d vote for Pritzker anyways, regardless of his platform or mob family history.
Everyone should read Gus Russo’s excellent book “Super Mob”, a history of Chicago, Mob, and Pritzker family’s significant mob involvement. Surprised the Pritzkers didn’t buy all copies and pulp book to get it out of circulation.
These ignorant Americans should be drafted and then sent to Gaza . They can hash out whichever side they think is more righteous once the bullets fly.
YA BETTER HOPE OR THE WHOLE COUNTRY WILL TURN OUT AS HORRIBLE AS ILL.
But they do know a good ham, ripe for the smoker when they see one.
It’s funny listening to a silver spooner like round boy talk about anyone else. Trump made his fortune unlike Gov Fat ass who inherited it.
“My, my,”as the elders of my youth would say when trying to be politely restrained when hearing a statement they found fundamentally wrong from their point of view. It was sometimes followed by “Where do I begin?”
Pritzker’s policies are a failure so all that he has is name calling.
Pritzker spews hate every day, yet accuses others of doing the same. He’s a racist, as he believes the color of a person’s skin should dictate the level of government assistance they should receive. His fanatical promotion of abortion is flat out weird. Why does he abhor babies? He advocates for mutilating children in the name of gender dysphoria. He has expanded gambling and legalized drug use as a means of increasing state revenues. Both of these vices can have extreme negative outcomes for individuals. JB advocates for strict regulations in the name of climate change while he and his… Read more »
HE’S A DEM!!! SO WHAT’S NEW??
I found Pritzker’s claims of trump “spew (ing) his hateful lies” quite interesting being I also have recently read articles that the covid is now being considered as just a flu. With that in mind do you remember Pritzker’s, lockdowns, his edicts and dictatorial actions during the so called pandemic? The Pritzker who shipped his family to another State so they did not have to live under the rules he imposed? I would suggest now, with hindsight, that many, if not all, of Pritzker’s proclamations during that time were big lies. I have found in life that a tactic of… Read more »
NOW YA GOT IT!!
To advance his political standing and career among Leftist Democrats, Pritzker is prepared to outspend and one-up his rivals. Newsom is attempting to get illegal aliens ‘interest free loans’ to buy homes care of CA taxpayers, while Hochul is attempting to put thousands of illegal aliens on the state payroll care of NY taxpayers. Watch out IL!
AND THEY ALL HAVE WHAT IN COMMON?????????/
Ironic that Pritzker took his name calling routine national at the same time Jim Dey did his piece on Pritzker’s name calling in Illinois: Read the Article
