OK, we are supposed to bring data, but you are drowning us in it. And you are veering off topic.
The privatisation of Chicago’s parking meter revenues for the next 75 years was indeed a travesty, and us conservatives agree with you that it is another way to kick the can down the road. It is essentially credit card financing and is to be condemned. The then-mayor of Chicago, Daley, then went on to briefly become Obama’s Chief of Staff, but was pushed out because he was too business friendly and not liberal enough. That you show that he later went to work for the very law firm that benefited from the looting of Chicago’s parking meter revenues is indeed crony capitalism at its worst.
At last, something we can agree upon!
