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.

Joe can’t withdraw. Too late and his tweet was false, not made by him, no Presidential seal, no Presidential letterhead..
Sure he can. Parties pick their own any way they see fit. They aren’t official arms of the government, we just let them act that way sometimes.
That’s a pretty long statement he had to write on such short notice. FJB.
He didn’t write it. Reporters tracked down the guy who wrote it for Biden. It’s not clear Biden agreed to withdraw at all, and this entire process happened under duress while he is allegedly fighting covid. They kind of just did it for him, and realistically, what could he do? Rescind this statement issued under duress? The entire process has been a clown show. That being said, it is for the best of country that they removed from the ticket (and he should also be removed from office immediately too). Biden’s handlers have been engaging in a reckless stunt keeping… Read more »
Some are suggesting that Biden’s endorsement of Harris – the very same VP he has claimed for months was unelectable – is his way of trying to screw the Democrat Party on the way out the door. I personally think there’s a 15% chance that Biden will resign before or at the DNC convention and then pardon Trump at some point in the near future, either before or after the election too.
JB probably p!ssed himself in excitement when Dementia Joe finally opted out, but I’d like to know what Biden extracted to give up his candidacy. Knowing the Biden family, it wasn’t cheap. The liberal elites now begin their games to pick their candidate, pretending that by forcing Diaper Joe to the sidelines they haven’t destroyed the Democracy they claim is at stake with a Trump election. The liberal media stands ready to pull out all the stops to justify the charade. The question is simple. Do you prefer extreme leftist policies or a return to reason. It isn’t difficult.
I prefer a return to reason. Unfortunately, that doesn’t include the Republican candidate this year.
I think PJT is a pretty reasonably choice.
I thought LIbertarians were against war, no?
Trump has clearly stated his anti war position which is why the deep state and the neocons who actually run things wanted him killed last week.
But no one is pure enough for the Libertarians.
