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.

Don’t upset the fruit bowl!
Say it ain’t so! The very people who support Palestine and the Muslims were going to be terrorist victims? Shocking!!!!!! The LGBTQ progressive community had better wake up!
Hey “ Trans People for Palestine “, something? Anything? In the land of the “ religion of love “, your Pride Parade would step off of the roof of the tallest building nearby and end in the street below seconds later.
Nonsense! All the Kefiyah wearing antifa scum will tell you that the muslims love gays. Gays and transgenders will be an integral part of a sharia society. They will play a crucial part in the muslim experimentation as to whether humans can shape shift and be taught to fly. Apparently, muslims believe that jews and gays are perfect subjects for this types of experimentation.
Trouble in the progressives’ paradise.
