Bowing to the all-knowing author of the article and whatever arguments he has presented is no bolstering one’s own case. I’ve brought four links to the ball-game with countervailing stats. Show that Chicago’s tax base is actually giving concrete signs of collapse. Yes, the article points to downgrades—it did before the tax base issue was raised as well.

I’m not making my own case! I’m agreeing with the author’s (common sense) case. What’s wrong with that exactly?
Or are you prepared to argue that unsustainable debt is actually sustainable? THAT ought to be good...
