Oh dear. Left-wing government employees got conned by politicians. There’s a new one.
Is it only a crisis in the SEC or also in the Big Ten, Pac-12, Big 12, Ivy League and other conferences?
They didn’t get conned. They demand and expect that the taxpayers will be made to pony up whatever it takes, no matter how unaffordable. The taxpaying public is there to service its so-called servants.
Less illegals = more Americans providing for Americans that have already paid INTO the system.
President Trump is just getting started and the full benefit(s) may take another year or two.
But they're coming !
Not all left wing.
I have a nice pension coming in about 4 months. But, it’s funded by my paycheck.
If I get anything out of SS, it’s gravy.
What do you think the percentage of conservative government employees is?
Did you have a lot of conservative acquaintances at work?
We worked for our feathers. Why can't they?
Breaking the public employee unions if the first step toward real meaningful social security reform. Yeah, I know it sounds harsh. But is there really any other way?
All we need to do is raise taxes to pay for the pensions!
Problem solved!

But, it’s funded by my paycheck.
And at the school I taught at, there weren’t many left wingers at all.
Most pension funds invest the money they receive from future pensioners in the stock market.
If the Democrats win the upcoming election, the stock market will fall, further endangering the already shaky pension funds and their future pensioners’ prospects of receiving any money when they retire.
So the last thing prospective pensioners — almost all of them Democrats — should do is vote Democratic.
But if any of them were intelligent enough to understand this, they’d be Republicans by now.
This was the RAT plan from the beginning
I think they should ban pensions for states and municipalities and instead go with fully funded 401ks. If there is matching with delayed vesting the matching amount has to be funded from the start.
And they should allow health savings accounts for anyone whether they have alternatives through work or not.

We avoid talking about it, but, I suspect that there are NOT that many conservatives. :(
But, you can tell the ones who are. They tend to be much happier with their work than the leftist.
For the most part, I am glad to be getting out soon. (mainly because I work to live, not, live to work and we are heading out to sea as soon as we can after)
Nobody could see this coming. 15 years ago.
Agreed. They should be funding their own pensions. I could see kicking in something from the state or muni’s or schools like 10% of the salary per year as a cap and that’s only after being vested. Even that’s being generous in the real world.
I don’t really have a problem with where the funding comes from, just the timing. In other words, it’s okay for state and municipalities to fund retirements, but they have to do it immediately, not make it an unfunded burden in the future.
And maybe there should be a law ob timing as well that increases in retirement funding can’t go into effect until one year after then next election. Have to be public noticed. And are repealable by the incoming legislature.
