-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Punish republicans, I would be willing to bet that 3/4 of the American people ( not illegals) are fed up, sick and tired of all the democratic rhetoric, Trump bashing led by Pritzker and all the new intelligence that is coming out about Schitt, Comey and others 2026 belongs to the Republicans. Pritzker’s mouth about Trump being a Nazi is absolutely sickening apparently Pritzker has forgotten his history as to what the Nazi’s did to the Jewish people, Pritzker needs a lesson taught to him.
What are they punishing Republicans for? Sealed borders, wage increases, inflation down, and economy booming? Tariff revenue booming? It remains to be seen if the cuts Republicans made will be as devastating as the Democrats hope.
Democrats are anti Semitic, pro Muslim, pro illegals and pro criminals. Plus they have not put forth 1 policy. Their only policy is “Trump bad”. Mamdani is a Democrat who is anti Semitic, anti American and a communist. IL Dems do not support all IL constituents, just the far left and illegals. If Dems would obey the law, their funding would not be cut. Dems brought this on themselves and all IL taxpayers.
Jeffries is just another Muslim name appropriating clown whose only answer to everything is “ Fight Trump!”.
