Disappearing Pensions, Multiplying Price-Hikes

September 15, 2016

The Chief and Lou Michels are live in studio to kick off this wonderful Thursday morning by starting a discussion on Chicago politics and teachers’ disappearing pensions. What needs to change? Who needs to leave? What a nice way to kick off the day, right?

The Chief and Lou Michels are both confused about the Wells-Fargo fraud situation. I think it’s going to stay that way. Next they talk about how the poor continue to get poorer as taxes go up. They touch on the rising prices of service based industries like restaurants. Where is the price hike coming from?

Lou gives us a military weaponry lesson before rounding out the show.
