-- 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. Audio here.
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.

Duckworth is the John McCain of our time: a hero and a fool.
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, our state’s ineffective visual virtue-signal.
Lower the temperature they say. In the next sentence, they are calling DJT Hitler.
It’s Duckworth out. She is a waste of salary. She had done nothing for US citing IL
Again, Duckworth displays ignorance. President Trump has every right to enforce America’s laws. Specifically, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 which 90 senators voted for. Morning Joe should have asked her if she supports law and order which means enforcement of all of our laws. She is definitely unqualified to be a senator.
Duckworthless is no idiot wannabe.
She’s an actual idiot.
A worthless leftist senator fomenting hate on a worthless propaganda network.
The desperate and lost lefties will eat this up though.
Still waiting for her to remove her prosthetic legs and sprawl out on the floor. Then you know she’s really serious.
Again…THEDUCK is an embarrassing hypocrite to the people of Illinois.
Also, the liberals are all about appearance and manipulation and less about substance. So, I wonder, if the selection of the seating arrangement for this “interview” was thought about and decided upon to make sure the visual was correct for their manipulation of the message. They could have gathered around a normal table height table (surely NBC has one), but they chose this approach. Perhaps I am way off on that one, but it seemed very liberal-messaging-orchestrated.
That’s dead on rhetoric. No violence. Just truth. The guy flat out worships dictators. Putin, Orban, Kim Jung Un. Loves them. Punishes cities that oppose him. Seeks power over the judiciary. Yep, dictator wannabe. If Madigan had ever run for President, he’d have been a Trump. Dope, he blew his chances.
