A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
It’s the windfall elimination provision (WEP) which decreases earned SSA benefits.
EARNED SSA benefits – ponder that for a moment.
I prefer the term “cheats” workers out of their full SSA benefits.
And I stated, thanks Representative Dan Rostenkowski, democrat, and convicted felon.

Why do members of the General Assembly allow people to hold two or more paid elected offices simultaneously??? Did you know that an Illinois Senator and Representative can also be a township supervisor, road commissioner or assessor? Getting paid and retire benefits from both? Over 6,000 bills a year go through the law-making process and (double-dipping continues) to being over-looked, year-after-year? Do not vote for those who think DOUBLE-DIPPING is okay!!!
As many state, county and municipal workers are denied Social Security benefits or have their EARNED benefits reduced by 60-80% because in the words of the famous convicted felon, democrat Dan Rostenkowski, those people are double dippers. I guess there are separate rules for black democrat politicians.
