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.

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.

AMF!
Delia said we have to raise money for Cori Bush, and then says we have to get big money out of politics. Speak with a forked tongue much? Basically, they don’t like when they get out maneuvered. The Squad is an extremist group with outrageous ideas and demands. Send them all out into the real world. Vote no to leftist extremism.
And the democrats are big time beneficiaries of Soros money.
Liberals just can’t stop rebranding.
It would benefit the country if others of the wackadoodle left got escorted into their fake book tours and CNN/MSNBC talking empty head gigs.
As noted liberal (classical) Bill Maher recently admitted, “Your ideas are stupid.”
Jamaal Bowman has too many stupid ideas. Hateful ideas. He deserved to lose.
Middle school teachers make for poor politicians. Sound familiar?
Too bad, so sad.
For them.
I, personally, am quite pleased.
