The question is “Public sector employee or Taxpayer or Public services?”
Some combination of the latter three are going to have to bear the cost of the generous promises that have been made.[/quote]
I think some form of restitution from Wall Street would help with those last three areas. We speak of Wall Street like it’s an amorphous entity, but it’s ultimately a small group of individuals who have been highly compensated to oversee the great rip off of the rest of the country. I think the Goldman and Citigroup and other CEOs, for starters, should have their salaries garnished and their multiple homes auctioned off to pay back the tax payers whose savings were wiped out while Citi bet against its own investment vehicles, profiting off the failure and those who were lied to about the investment’s quality.
