Chicago’s pension funds looking more like a collapsing Ponzi scheme

(From Wirepoints)
Spread out the $145 billion in overlapping government pension and retiree health care debt – from the city, the Chicago Public Schools, Cook County governments and the state – and each Chicago household is, on average, on the hook for more than $139,000 each.
What’s fascinating is that Illinois politicians think Chicagoans will willingly pay off that debt no matter what.
