-- 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.

GOVERNOR TUBBY IS OBAMAS MAN AND THAT YOU CAN Take toTHE BANK HE WILL BE VP OR HARRIS THE MOPE IS GONE AT THE CONVENTION
As long as we’re still voting for Presidents instead of appointing them, Pritzker doesn’t have a chance in hell of getting elected. This morally bankrupt ton of fat is increasingly brazen in his rhetoric, and just like the toxic Hil Clinton, rubs people the wrong way, very hard. He may win a nomination at some point, as Dems have a strange democratic way of determining who gets to be the nominee, but the weirdo extraordinaire won’t get the votes on a national level.
Pritzker, at any time in history, as the scion of a wealthy family, would have likely inherited a minor noble office, like a baron or a duke, and he would have ruled his feudal lands with an iron fist. He probably would have provoked a few minor wars with his neighbors, he would have been feared among his peasantry, and I’d venture to say that he probably would probably torture the rabble-rousers and revolters in his fiefdom. But in a capitalist democracy, the best the youngest Ne’er-do-grandson of a wealthy merchant can do is the governor of a reliably and… Read more »
Well said!!
Like I always say……..depends on who is counting the votes…….election 2020???
Pritzker is a rich sad sack. Illinois is corrupt. A coup? Gimme a break. Project 2025 is much, much scarier. Plus Peter Thiel – there is a James Bond villain if I ever saw one.
Your comment about Project 2025 shows that you are little more than an NPC.
Yaay, personal attacks! I must have hit a button.
I was giving you advice, not attacking you personally.
No…..you just say dumb stuff
Why is the only time I hear about Project 2025 is when D’s spout off about it?
I’m not a D, I am independent. That said, you won’t hear itfrom R’s because R’s want to hide it’s totalitarian aims from view. Same with money man Peter Thiel.
I’m familiar with Project 2025 and it would be awesome. Telling me that Trump wants to do Project 2025′ deportation of tens of millions of illegal immigrants only makes me want to vote for him even more.
Think of home many decently priced homes would hit the market as all the illegals got deported. Millennials would finally be able to buy a home! Every millennial with a birthright citizenship should be demanding the illegals be shipped in cargo container back from where they came.
YAHOO!!
But what if the illegals are relatives?
The isolationist and conspiracy driven MAGA cult can’t stand anyone that doesn’t wallow in Trump’s daily dump. That includes comments from people that are not Democrats, but rather Independents and unhappy Republicans. You know, the ones that will swing the election. I am not a Democrat, but they win by teaming reproductive freedom with a VP that believes in a strong, secure and common-sense approach to the border.
LOL – recent polls show that 62% of Americans and 53% of hispanics want mass deportation of all illegal immigrants. And this is the isolationist MAGA cult. You live in a carefully constructed world of fantasy and make-believe, where most of the things you hold dear, and the truths you understand to be true, are objectively false You believe the lies and the propaganda they tell you to believe, because you are a sheep who wants to be told what to believe, even if it’s all fake and untrue, and just don’t care. And when you are shown evidence that… Read more »
Be ready, your old, fat, low IQ, immoral, narcissistic, dehumanizing, lie spewing and wannabe thug is not going to get elected. Even after replacing his ridiculous VP candidate, it won’t matter. He is toast.
Are you moving to Canada if he does?
Another dumb MAGA comment. Just be ready when he calls up the white nationalists to attack Washington again. What a joke.
now now……don’t get huffy when not getting your way……….lefty
Again, you live in a carefully constructed world of fantasy and make-believe when you say stuff like this.
typical lefty……name calling when proven wrong!!!!!!!
spare me……..
Work on your GED
You would know……… with that FOUL mouth of yours.that’s how uneducated people speak FOUL
Your Emperor Has No Clothes. Since I doubt you know what the means, google it. None of this really matters. After alienating the vast majority of female voters, the Republicans have no chance of winning the election. Really dumb… What’s next, the stoning of women?
If the Republicans had no chance of winning, you wouldn’t have your undies all in a bunch Phil. You know that Kamala, who polled much worse than Joe for the last 3 and a half years, didn’t suddenly surge in popularity. The liberal media is working overtime telling you everything you want to believe, but there’s no substance. She still hasn’t done anything, the border disaster is all on her now and people are still paying ridiculous prices at the grocery store. Your bravado is just silly.
Absolutely correct
What a sick twisted mind?? you have…………..LEFTY
