Don’t know about Chicago, but I see more states running out of money, including the Feds. You see who they cut first, the pensioners.
Yep, that’s a fact. And it’s going to get a lot worse if they get their way. All you have to do is look at Obamacare. Medicare is already in trouble and they’ll be cutting it back even more in the future. I read an article a while back that said 1 out of 3 medicare patients couldn’t find local doctors. I think it was 80% of doctors were dropping it altogether. and 60% of doctors on the fast track to early retirement. Fewer college students enrolling in medicine.
Who will pay the price for this? First the older generation, the ones who already have “one foot in the grave” to be crass about it. Then the rest of us. Or should I say the rest of you, since I’m looking at 60 in 2 months or so...
That’s the way of socialists. When you are running out of other people’s money to keep the masses happy, cut off the old folks first. They’re almost gone anyway, who cares right?
There was a time when our country revered its older generation and tried to help them have a comfortable retirement. Now they throw them under the bus...
I'd look for an IOU in lieu of income tax refund before they actually put hurts on public retirees.
After all; it's future govt. pensioners who make the decisions and make the system "work".
