"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.

“Good Morning Chicago!!!” Now jump up, wind your watch, beat your laundry clean on your rock, rub to sticks together, cook your breakfast, and get to work. Gosh knows we need those tax dollars. Buhwaaaaaaa!!

Yet another day and another way I’m glad I don’t live in Chicago.

[bkopto]

Actually, I think I agree with the mayor.

Chicagoans should be paying many more taxed than they currently pay.

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.

This means more taxes to pay the fat pensions.
Nothing else matters.

Because everything the government does is essential and cannot possibly ever make do with less.

Austerity is for you serfs, not your betters.

Lefties raise taxes.
