[quote=harvey][quote=SK in CV]Who is it that’s refused to acknowledge a problem? Just because there are differing views of both the scope of the problem, and possible solutions, doesn’t mean that anyone is blind to the problem.[/quote]
There is one poster in particular who claimed bluntly that there was no difference between the the way the public and private sectors are compensated, described the pension crisis as “perceived,” and argued that critics have based their opinions on data that “probably represent minority exceptions.”
Even if this poster does actually believe there is a problem, they have yet to offer any solution, or even a substantial critique of the solutions offered by others (aside from a few stray nit-picks.)
I can’t recall the name of this particular poster, though I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Jerry Brown, who recently said this:
The pension vote in San Jose, which is… a more liberal city than the state as a whole, is a very powerful signal that pension reform is an imperative. It’s really important.
I’m reasonably sure the poster you were referring to was me.
I’m not positive I actually said all those things, but I’ll take your word for it. How do any of those prove that I have refused to acknowledge that there is a problem? I’m reasonbly sure I’ve never been asked to make that acknowldement. Which was pretty much my point. Just because we disagree on the scope or cause of the problem, doesn’t mean that I think it doesn’t exist. Fact is, I think there is a problem with the pension system. I agree with Jerry Brown.
