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.

First: I hope the Trump administration wins.
Second: I hope the Trump administration makes life as miserable for JB as JB has done for me.
I hope the Trump administration wins too.
Undoubtedly the Left/DEMS will file lawsuits. I hope Trump has a plan to overcome this.
