-- 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. Audio here.
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 Hill also has a new article about why Dems want Trump to be the nominee:https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3561802-bidens-best-hope-for-2024-might-be-donald-trump/
People didn’t really vote for Biden as much as they were voting against Trump. Biden was never popular even during the primary. It wasn’t until the party nomination started heading towards Bernie that they rallied behind Biden. The greatest nation on earth has a president in office because they weren’t Bernie and they weren’t Trump.
Of course Biden wants Trump. While Biden may not win a rematch, I’m not sure he can win without him. He needs the people that hate Trump to come out one more time.
I’m not so sure Biden will be the nominee in 2024.
Unless Biden voluntarily decides not to run (or not alive), he is the next Dem nominee. Everything else is just fun speculation.
I’m guessing he will voluntarily decide not to run. I believe Biden has said he will run if he’s healthy and that’s his out when he sees that his party doesn’t want him anymore.
It doesn’t matter who the D nominee is when Democrats know they’re going to steal the election.
You just gotta get over your stolen election fantasy if you ever want to be taken seriously.
Never forget
LOL, the IL Dem Party is arguing in court, right now, that it’s perfectly legal and constitutional to count and certify unpostmarked ballots 14 days after the election, as long the ballot is dated on or before the election.
But no, the election won’t be stolen. Democracy!

“He needs the people that hate Trump to come out one more time.”
You mean Biden needs the ballot harvesters to come out one more time to eek out another 40,000 popular vote win spread across 6 swing states to win the electoral college.
