And even Hussein's out-of-control spending can't fix the problem.

That's a shame.

I thought they were going to take it out of social security?

The Illinois and California budgets are (unspokenly) based on Obama letting them issue federally guaranteed state bonds.

If that doesn’t happen, look out.

The Teachers, Police and Firefighters are bleeding the City of Chicago dry..
The citizens of Chicago are getting what they deserve..

If they didn’t want a criminal enterprise running the city they would vote them out..
Chicago is almost as corrupt as New York City or Newark..

The citizens are like pigs at a pig farm.. being processed..
Used to be they were like Cows getting milked ..
But those days are long gone..

I say let it run dry - then put 0bama’s redistribution policy to work and only distribute what comes in to those in the system.

The teachers’ union has criticized Chicago for failing to set aside enough money for the pensions, but it has reassured workers and retirees that their benefits are protected by the State Constitution and cannot be reduced. A state law bars strikes in Chicago over pension issues.

"Don't worry--when there's no money you'll get your money because the State Constitution sez so."

Insanity.
