“I think Joe may decide to run again in 2024, but I’ll tell you what — JB’s got a future in the Democratic Party and I think it’s higher than the governor of Illinois,” said Bill Shaheen, a DNC member from New Hampshire who attended Pritzker’s speech at the state party convention last weekend.

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.

Maybe Arbuckle will be asked about the toilet tax dodge. Hmmmm was this closed in the courts yet? He’d be a bigger shtbg than the current president.
As companies and taxpayers continue to flee the insane State of Illinois, one wonders where we flee if JB the Hutt ever got his McDonald’s grease coated fingers on the levers of power in Washington.
Illinois is a ticking financial time bomb and the imbeciles at Politico give it the same pass as the Chicago media morons do. Nothing to see here, just a bankrupt state entirely dependent on Federal bailouts.
Maybe it is time to leave this state to these lunatics.
This article just put a big smile on JB’s gigantic melon. He loves himself so much he can barely contain himself. Given the solutions Dems have espoused to fix their own economic mess, being a Democrat in 2024 isn’t going to be any more pleasant than it is going to be in November, 2022. Do us a favor JB, and run. Run long and run hard. Literally. I want to see it.
Pritzker Is Just The Latest Feckless Democrat Governor To Fail Upward
Run!! Impossible.
God forbid.
