-- 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.

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.

Saw this movie it was called the Rauner Years
Adam,
Go away for ever!
Talk about being in denial. Get yourself a real job Adam, because you’re finished in politics.
Kinzinger has now officially gone off the deep end. I’m in his district and havent met one person who would vote for this idiot again. Turncoat is the name that comes to mind. Kinzinger couldn’t win an election for dog catcher and he thinks he’s going to win a race for governor. It must be the ego gene going out of control in the litttle weasels body that’s making him say stupid stuff. Adios pal, you’re finished.
He’s drinking his own kool-aid and the nonsense he hears from CNN. Big Jon Howell the other day on WLS called Adam Kinzinger a good, solid principled man, and Howell’s kind of Republican. I immediately turned the dial to another radio station. The liberal media’s preferred Republican is the last republican any real republican should be voting for.
