[quote=sdrealtor][quote=CA renter][quote=sdrealtor]I was hoping someone would notice that her argument rested on an assumption that SS was definitely going to be bailed out from a general fund. A complete guess with no basis which invalidated her entire case.[/quote]
I was hoping that someone would notice that Pri’s (and others’) arguments rest on an assumption that taxpayers will be fully responsible for shoring up the public pension shortfalls. So far, it’s the public employees who have been taking the hits to make up for the pension shortfalls.[/quote]
You killed your case again with the word fully. You are too prone to hyperbole. Taxpayers are already shoring up pension shortfalls from general funds. Also remind me where the funds to pay the public employees salaries come from?[/quote]
sdr, which retirement assns are you referring to here? And don’t you have some kind of “advanced degree” that isn’t “basket weaving?” Hopefully, if you still remember what you learned in school, you, too, can apply and possibly become one of these slothful opportunists and better secure your future! But I must warn you that if you take one of these “cushy positions” on the “taxpayer dole,” you will no longer be able to stumble downstairs to work in the morning at whatever hour you choose to and post on online blogs all day. You will instead say “hello” and “good morning/afternoon” to your new “supervisor” (whom you may or may not regard as “intelligent” as yourself).
