-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --

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.

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.

That is really funny! The Leftists are the ones who live and die according to identity and group politics. This fool needs his head examined.
Aw man. Raja goes for it again in his quest for the title of ‘Dumbest Congressman’. Rashida Talib wrests the title from AOC and now has to fight off this contender. Can’t wait to hear the stupid she uses to defend the title.
Yet his voters will nod their head in agreement. I have friends and family and co-workers in his district, and they are NPCs just as ridic as him.
Sounds like he is a good representative of his voters. Just as our system intended.
The Blind leading the blind!
TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, runs deep in the mind of Mr Scabble. Another idiot politician, of course a democrat, from Illinois.
Raja going toe to toe with Dimwit Duckworth for the title of biggest idiot currently representing Illinois in DC. I have to say, with his most recent comment, the Raja has drawn within striking distance.
As this comment demonstrates, Raja is an idiot. He does not attempt to build bridges or create harmony. Just backstabs through his toothy smile. He reflects poorly on the Indian community in Northern Illinois.
