Matt Bennett, a co-founder of Third Way, which typically backs centrist Democrats, countered that Pritzker could bring a “more stable” version of Trump’s argument that his wealth and success is an asset. Trump’s biggest liability, Bennett said, is “chaos” that negatively affects people’s lives.

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.

I’ve heard some reports that JB the Hutt (a nickname he actually endorsed on the Jimmy Kimmel Show) has lost some weight. I can’t say I notice a difference yet but if he does get noticeably thinner that IMO will be proof that he’s really serious about running for president.
‘More stable’, meaning JB the Hutt has never had a real job and has no clue how the world outside of his big fat trust fund. This ignorance has guided his every decision. JB the Hutt is utterly clueless on economic matters and his rabid devotion to killing babies should give even his fellow pro-baby-killing people pause.
Third Way is marketing. The left seeks and keeps power by any means necessary.
Dems must be desperate. JB has ruined IL and taxpayers moving out of IL in droves. AOC has done nothing to address crime in her district. Interesting pair.
Those 2 remind me of Laurel and Hardy.
With apologies to Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy
An inherited billionaire property tax cheat who tax shields his money in the Caymans oligarch and a bartender…
More stable? The fat man broke his own leg by standing on it!
The Pritzker For President 2028 Campaign is gleeful about this headline. Please please please keep it up JB. Spend daddy’s fortune to the last penny in this pursuit of greatness!!!!!
