Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
“Mayor Brandon Johnson has created a task force to look for solutions to Chicago’s underfunded pensions …” Uh, reduce pensions/benefits or raise taxes. There, how much money did I just save Chicago by eliminating the need for this task force? Oh, and since the task force will include public union members, it doesn’t need to look into reducing pensions/benefits.
“Uh, reduce pensions/benefits or raise taxes.”
Uh, you can’t reduce pensions/benefits for existing employees. Raise taxes it is.
Never say never.
I didn’t.
