-- 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.

Our Governor Round Boy would have to go on MSDNC to spew his nonsense. I wonder if he realizes that he is preaching to the Leftist choir and that normal people are really very tired of these old leftist canards such as Trump is a Nazi or that Trump is a danger to our “democracy”. It is very apparent to anyone with a functioning brain and who also is not invested in keeping the grift going that it is people like Round boy who are the actual danger to our way of life. But he will keep on lying like… Read more »
Why anyone would listen to this tool is beyond me. He has acted like every other governor in Illinois and kicked the financial can down the road and bankrupted the state. Spent Billions of Illinois residents tax dollars on illegal immigrants and continues to embarrass the people of Illinois. Pathetic.
Pritzker is also lying here or at least grossly exaggerating that Trump Administration has ignored court orders. There’s only one case where that may have happened that I have seen. It’s on federal funding freeze where the judge said Trump indeed had violated his earlier order. Notably, no sanctions were imposed, and the judge just reiterated that Tump needed to get it done. Trump claimed he had complied and the whole thing is on appeal.
But these judges allowed Biden to violate numerous court orders and the Supreme Court I’m wondering if the DOJ has its eyes on Pritzker.
Trump is ignoring court orders, he’s just not saying it out loud. I find it difficult to believe Trump’s administration, which has spent the last four years planning out every single action down to the pen Trump uses to sign the executive orders, is just going to be like “Sorry guys! A Canadian-born Biden judge appointed 6 weeks before I took office with 51 votes overruled our entire MAGA agenda! There’s nothing we can do! Absolutely not, they are ignoring court orders, only half complying with others. Stephen Miller’s civic lesson the other day at a press conference explained that… Read more »
And what a fraud Jake Tapper of CNN is. He’s hawking his new book about the coverup Biden’s mental decline, though he himself did that repeatedly on CNN. https://www.newsweek.com/jake-tapper-faces-backlash-over-new-book-bidens-cognitive-decline-2036589
This individual will do anything for attention, CNN answers it all. Hey Pritzker how about a town hall were your asked real questions not prepared questions in advance or better yet how about a debate a one on one something your afraid to do because your malfeasance will be exposed further. I will make it easy for you do a debate with me I’m standing up to you Pritzker you have no morals or compassion you hide behind your money that’s all you have in life and nothing else such a hapless individual.
Just more outlandish blather from JB created to gain National Media attention for “The Most Progressive Politician In America, the Savior of the Democrats and the Front Runner for the 2028 Presidency.” Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Until November 2028 when JB spends his daddy’s last cent.
They cannot stand up to mayor tiff tiff… how they going to stand up the party with Whitehouse, Senate, House, SCOTUS and FBI?
Round boy just expects to buy his way in.
