Just the problem that needs endless chatter. Can't drill for oil, can't drill for gas, can't build gas or oil pipelines.
Can't expand our power lines, can't build nuclear plants. Can't build refineries. Our government has just about run up a debt that can never be paid off. (This so teachers and government workers don't lose their jobs) Mind you all those can'ts could actually save our economy.

Its not an issue with teachers, per se.

State and local governments have ALWAYS offered generous pension plans TO BE PAID IN THE FUTURE in order to pay below market wages. So, this is just the government fulfilling its legal obligations. I know of millionaire deadbeats who happened to work a company that paid stock options and these clowns are now millionaires. Same story. I don’t notice you snarling at them.

Going forward, all pensions should be privatized.
