Southwest Side veteran Ald. Matt O'Shea will call it quits after four terms.
Hardest working member of the city council.
Boots will be hard to fill.
Major loss for the neighborhood.
On his way out the door, O’Shea (19th) bemoaned the changes that have turned the job of a Chicago alderperson from a visible presence in the neighborhoods they’re elected to represent to part of a legislative body that spends the majority of its time “speaking out on things that happened halfway around the world.”
Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) looks on during a Chicago City Council meeting this spring. O’Shea says he’s not seeking re-election next year.

Conehead was talking about a big upcoming presser this month - is this it?
He polling as low as he ever has so this isn't a real surprise. Porkulous himself has refused to appear at public events with Conehead, he's that toxic.
But....
If Giannoulias is actually appearing with him for this announcement, does Conehead become an anchor around his campaign? Why would he appear with, let alone accept the endorsement of the lowest polling mayor in history? Someone who is (A) a failure, (B) has zero accomplishments to his career and (C) is known as the tool of the CTU which has lost nearly as much support as mayor dumbass.

We only crossed $30 trillion in January 2022. So, just a few years to add $10 trillion.
With a couple months left in the fiscal year which ends in September, interest costs have already climbed to $1.17 trillion and now rank as the third largest federal expense behind healthcare and Social Security.
More borrowing ➡️ Higher interest costs ➡️ More borrowing ➡️ Higher rates
That's a doom loop.
Last week's 30-year Treasury auction was the costliest such sale in 25 years. The day before, a 10-year Treasury auction produced the highest financing cost since 2007.
The consequences won't stay in Washington. They'll show up in your mortgage payment, your car loan, your credit card bill, and the cost of doing business.
The math is simple.
Debt compounds.
So do the consequences.In 18 months or so, your money in the bank will be worthless, your house will a giant liability and your pension fund will be in bankruptcy.
Government will probably issue a new currency. THINK OF IT AS STARTING OVER.
