Well, the solution is obvious. Increase taxes./s
But OF COURSE! Why didn’t I think of that? The solution is so obvious, raise taxes. How simple could that be so that we citizens can pay for the public servants gold plated health care programs and pensions?
Of course, we’ll just turn right back around and raise our wages won’t we? That will allow us to be super competitive in the world markets won’t it.
Sarcasm off pissed off back on.
The real question here is: What is the present value of future benefits vs. how much is currently in the fund.
This is an area where a person can get people really worked up without the facts.
I agree it is a real big problem. We haven’t even seen the tip of the iceberg of this problem for Fed, State & local Govt’s.
