Hmmm, I came up with 4.2 billion from newspaper articles, I wasn’t far off. Far worse than they were telling us. I wonder if the Detwaa bankruptcy could have happened if this was not carved out....

Could this problem be somehow related to mismanagement of the pension itself? When you have people putting money into a system for the better part of 30 years, it should throw of enough money for the pensioner had it not been tapped into along the way.

Might explain how Hillary "misplaced" 6 billion when she was Sec of State.

It would also explain the Social Security "lockbox" demise.

Politician: Vote for me and I'll increase your pension benfits.

Union member: I'll do that only if the police and firemen get premium pensions.

Politician: But of course.

Every few years, same conversation, same results. An ever-upward escalation of pension benefits at the expense of the taxpayers.

Easy fix...tap into the Detroit money tree project...

Unicorns watch over the groves of trees and fertilize them with unicorn poop that looks like skittles...

I hear it’s a bumper crop this election year...

Detroit and its finances are a source of “Reparations.”

Pension legacy costs for public school employees have skyrocketed statewide, not just in Detroit.

Outlaw defined benefit public pensions - it's a ticking time bomb thanks to overly generous pols trading future taxpayer funds for re-election in a quid pro quo with union boss thugs.
