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.

Kinzinger is a RINO loser who is out to destroy the party like Cheney and RINO Lausch, the us attorney Beverly democrat who only follows Lori’s advice on who to indict. He indicted Burke to get Lori elected. Hopefully he will be primaried out. He should become a democrat already as that is what he is. And a total embarrassment.
Maybe he should jump ship?
What is Kinzinger’s end-game? To become a faux Republican commentator on MSLSD, so he’s building his ‘brand’. Kinzinger has been ‘wasted space’ politically – a cheer leader for endless wars, thats it.
These Republican politicians seem to conveniently forget who voted them in office. The ultimate betrayal in my mind.

He’s not a whistlebloweer, he’s a never Trumper. And they are hated in the party. Even the most ardent Trump supporters disagree with him often. But they aren’t on TV bashing the 75,000,000 people who supported him as Deplorables.
Kinzinger = TRAITOR.
