-- 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.

Round Boy has convinced himself that his lies and gaslighting actually work . It might for some people but anyone with a functioning brain can see right through his lies.
Be careful when playing golf how you point to the trajectory of the ball, or when giving someone directions, or when pointing out where the restaurant restrooms are, or you too may be guilty of a Nazi salute.
Stephen Colbert had a little tutorial on that matter in last night’s show. I know the MAGA crowd must love watching his show—not!
I’ve seen footage of AOC, Kamala and others doing the exact same thing and nary a word from governor Three Scoops. He still is desperate to be relevant after the Dems left him on the bench last summer in CHI.
JB is a bad faith actor. He’s also really stupid, because as I heard someone on the radio say this morning, ridiculous claims that Elon did a Heil Hitler salute are a stupid waste of time and distract the Democrat party from discussing serious issues. But as pundit Jesse Kelly says, your liberal aunt Peggy wants to live in a world of make-believe, where she is constantly fed a narrative of carefully constructed lies. She wants to believe that Elon is really a Natsee and her politicians and pundits are giving her exactly what she wants to hear.
JB the Hutt has been upset since KFC cancelled the Double Down.

Et, tu, Railroader? Your other comments are usually so well thought out and substantive. Don’t join the name callers.
I’m sorry. It’s like a fart joke. Sometimes it’s irresistible.
As juvenile as my comment was, it pales in comparison to the feckless media’s desperation to save their fellow Democrats. Hard to save someone from themself though.
It was still funny <ducks>…
In our culture, calling someone a Natsee is the worst insult possible. It’s even worse than calling someone a chomo, because Democrats will occasionally defend chomos, but they will never defend Natsees. JB goes on national television, repeatedly and on social media, calling Elon Musk, the Republican Party’s most high profile patron billion – who supported Trump when all the other billionaires kept their cards close to their chest. If JB wants to insult people with the most slanderous of all insults, we can joke about his weight.
Let’s us not forget that calling your opponent a Not-see was a complete admission that you have lost the argument. With the implosion of the Leftist Media, JB the Hutt and his henchmen have lost the narrative and the argument. What do libs have left?
For now it is all they have, they are throwing pizzas at the wall hoping that something sticks, because they got nothin’. The lost the house for 2 years, executive branch for 4-12 years, they lost the Senate for 6 years, and the Supreme Court for a generation. Their most important grift to enrich their most ardent supporters – DEI – is being dismantled so fast they can’t keep up. Their most hallowed institutions – academia – is about to be put under siege by the Trump administration, and their defenses are severely weakened. These people really believed 5 months… Read more »
Don’t let the Hutt catch you throwing pizza at the wall.
<I’ll let myself out.>
Desperate for attention. What a pandering fool. That narrative doesn’t work any more, because people who do not have TDS see it for the lie that it is and joke that you are.
Everything he says or does needs to be viewed in the context of his stated desire to run for POTUS. I noticed Jumbo Belly failed to mention how it affects him as a jew. The unfortunate truth is Trump is also a stooge for Israel.
This LOL (Lack Of Leadership) governor JB is lost. He says he wants the illegal immigrant criminals deported but doesn’t approve of the of how it’s being conducted. So, what has LOL done? Now LOL claims it goes back to previous administrations. It wasn’t a problem until the illegal immigrants were sent to BLUE states and cities during the biden adm, then they lost the election. LOL is a big talker, just like CoVid.
LOL, lol – cant wait to use this in the same context now, thanks, and you surely are not wrong!
If JB thinks this is going to move the needle, he’s wrong. CNN is on life support. Nobody saw him.
He knows he’s lying…
We know he’s lying…
He knows that we know, yet still he lies…
He has zero credibility, no legitimacy or ethics…
Yet, with Trump being of the same set of predilections and credibility so many here and throughout America love him. Go figure!
The virtue signaling clown. Have Chicago and IL had enough yet?
JB is frantically desperate for media attention. Newsome is getting all the airtime; even if negative. The 2028 Pritzker for President Campaign is off to a stuttering start.
WaPo list of 12 most likely Dem candidates in 2028. Pritzker doesn’t make the list, even though he is a 2 term governor of a big blue progressive state with megabucks.
So is Pritzker thinking he may have gone too far crazy for even Democrats to take him seriously? No, I’m guessing he’s thinking “Ozempic”.

You’d think these Nazi Truthers like JB would be worried about losing what’s left of their credibility, but apparently not.
Did he ever have any real credibility or was Pritzker just being used for his money, also take a look at the news source CNN that should sum it up.
Umm, do ya think SloJoe biden cares about his credibility or legacy? Neither of them do and neither do most if not all democrats because if they did they wouldn’t be democrats.
You are correct, they’re not worried about credibility. As pundit Jesse Kelly always says, your liberal wine aunt Peggy lives in a carefully crafted world of make-believe. She doesn’t want to know the truth nor does she care to know the truth. She just wants to be told what to think. Life is just easier for her to watch JB on teevee tell her that Elon Musk – whom she already dislikes anyway – is an actual Nazi who out of nowhere, as he was telling the crowd he gives them his heart, does a HEIL HITLER. Because it makes… Read more »
