-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

I sent her an email calling for her to resign. https://www.duckworth.senate.gov/connect/email-tammy
Called this creature’s DC office and left a scathing response to it’s foul mouth!
Suggest everyone in this state to do the same! Must get all animals out of Congress!
Vote this useless senator out. She needs to speak and act professionally. Swearing makes her sound uneducated.
So does her merely speaking.
Has anyone demanded ( love that entitled phrase ) accountability for Ducksworth hectoring her superiors into letting her fly a multi- million dollar piece of military equipment, although unqualified, and wrecking it?
The Duck and The Dick are a disgrace to the People of Illinois.
The bench is terrible. Sen. Kwame? Sen. Casten? Yuck.
Democrats don’t care. “Always vote blue, no matter who” is how they operate. Democrat incumbents *rarely* lose. Democrats show up to the polls and vote blue like their grandchildrens’ lives depend on it. Well, more like their grandchildren deaths depend it because of abortion but you get what I mean, right? 74.4 million showed up to the polls six month ago to vote for Harris. 74.4 million of them voted for that fraud of a DEI hire who couldn’t complete a sentence. One guy I know well, and I like him, commented once after a few beers that he lives… Read more »
Duckworth a class act, low class and no class
Duckworth’s silence during Biden’s 4 years as Commander in Chief show her comments to be nothing more than the screeching of a half-wit hysteric. Duckworth is this generation’s John McCain: a hero and a fool.
Love the fact that the Dems now think that if they drop the f-bomb enough, it gives their point (or lack thereof) more strength and logic, and scores points woth the youth vote. Sad.
Wow. Miss Flying-Her-Heliopter-To-Pick-Up-Pizza and then it gets shot down is demanding accountability? Right.
I’ve tried googling (that’s probably my mistake), but i cannot find what is really the true story of the crash, and the back story of her being allowed to fly.
A veteran friend of mine related to me that she cried and whined all the way to the top of the chain of command until they gave in and let her fly, despite being unqualified, to shut her up. It didn’t end well.
“Revealed” can’t yet be considered the best word choice to use when you are giving such praise to one unknown person’s opinion and certainly without giving the background and credibility of your unnamed source. Nice try, but no cigar is offered to you for offering such a bold statement.
