"By 2023, Lightfoot will need to come up with nearly $1 billion in additional annual pension payments."
Somebody has to pay for all these former "public servants" who retired with full pension at age 55.

Yet another day and another way I’m glad I don’t live in Chicago.
To: george76
Actually, I think I agree with the mayor.
Chicagoans should be paying many more taxed than they currently pay.

Dont you wonder why the effort and creativity to find needs for more taxes would be applied to ways to reduce spending?

This is why the Federal Reserve must prop up the stock market and engage in QE at all costs.
Raise interest rates at all, have any kind of economic decline - and America’s leftist cities and states are going straight to insolvency. Yeah, Yeah, I know States can’t go “bankrupt.” I don’t know what they will call it when they stop paying their bills, but just watch and see.

I wonder if it gets that bad as you say, Trump executive order, with okay from Supreme court, to appoint fiscal republicans as Mayors, Governors,etc. This to SAVE the UNION and free the slaves(Taxpayers).

However, when we come to “ask” we’ll be carrying guns. After all we’re The Government.
