did the Illinois pensions get resolved?  at all, or just lost
Not even close, but we are not gonna get into the why here. It's an easy thing to research on your own.

Plus, I don't care anymore.

I don't think it would anymore here. I think we've learned that we can discuss things without throwing stones or getting into politics.
Are you sure? 

OAM's on summer break. He has the time. :57:

Well look.  You can't really have a conversation like we were without mentioning politics.  That's kind of the point.  They've weaponized politics like no one has before.  Weaponized their wealth like never before.

If you can't include a major part of the discussion, then we can't have the discussion, and those who want to stick their head in the sand sort of win.

What a useful idea!

So the boomers are responsible for the politicians and what the politicians accomplished or didn't?

Yes, the boomers had numbers and had influence on elections.   But, did most boomers approve of the crap the politicians passed?

That doesn't go back as far as the national data, but it mirrors the Great Recession dip in the national data and ends at the same 5.8x endpoint.
