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.

Of interest would be the Pritzger/ Blago phone call shopping the seat vacated by Obama around on tape in an exhibit, along with a detailed description of the dirty tricks employed to get Barak there in the first place ( Axelrod, the family problems of an Obama opponent trotted out in the press, etc. ). That would be worth visiting.
Barry’s “continuing legacy” has led *directly* to the triumph of “Team Trump”… his noxious leftist policies set this nation back at least by *twenty* years… Team Trump are going to have a HUGE task in cleaning up the filthy stinking Obama mess…
Biden was his biggest legacy.
The continuing legacy of the Obama presidency? Let’s see.
Crossfire Hurricane, FISA abuses, spying on Americans, classical fascist (before leftists forgot the meaning of the word) media control, three letter agencies directly used to attack political opposition, intelligence agencies spying on Republicans, the establishment of the state religion of Climate and Gaia worship, Cash for Clunkers, the de-prohibition of state media government propaganda, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, the disastrous third term (Biden Regime),…
Some legacy.
And identity politics — woke everything.
Not to mention his *disastrous* foreign policies… too numerous to mention…
Shovel ready jobs. Free lifetime Obama phones. 2M spent on a solar panel company that didn’t produce one single panel. Don’t short sell the guy.
