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.

Do Nothing Durbin must not have gotten his most recent issue of Idiots Monthly, so he’s taking it out on the USPS. Here’s a newsflash for you Dick, your party’s garbage policies have created the environment that enables the gangbangers and other criminals to get away with this behavior.

And if he dispatches a gangbanger he could also use his Return to Sender stamp!
What about a “Return to Maker” stamp?
Perhaps the mailman needs to carry something else besides mail!
