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.

The word “Great” should never be used in anything associated with Jay Robert, the word “ loser “ should always be used with The putz.
It would be so much fun to see Trump elected President if for no other reason than to watch JB’s gigantic head explode. Pritzker would have an epic meltdown.
Speaking of Pritzker I read over at Capital Fax that Pritzker “signedSB3514, designating the Calvatia gigantea, commonly known as the “giant puffball,” as the official mushroom of the State of Illinois.’ Imagine that? So our in house “giant puffball” signed a bill to take care of another “giant puffball.” Is this some sort of nepotism? (lol I couldn’t resist making this post…giant puffballs, Pritzker, LOL)
As usual. President Trump isn’t wrong. JB the Hutt eats lots of hot dogs but couldn’t manage a hot dog stand. Illinois degrades each day the Hutt’s regime holds it hostage and the productive are leaving in droves.
Is he right about Harris’ crowds being CGI?
The Harris campaign lies about virtually everything so it’s not out of the question. I haven’t been able to find a good answer one way or the other. Everything about Harris is a fake campaign. However, they are running the Mean Girls or Cool Girls campaign to win the election, unlike anything America has ever seen before. There’s no policy discussions, or running on records. It’s a completely astroturfed ‘Kamala is brat’ campaign showing how unbelievably cool she is and when she’s in charge, everything will be just fine.

Kamala has also become quite adept at promising to adopt some of the policies she slammed DT for in the past. Whether it’s just a bunch of hot air or not, she, like Joe, has a penchant for taking the ball someone else has been carrying and trying to score the touchdown for her own benefit.
The sound of any democrats voice lately induces instant vomiting.
