January 16, 2010 at 12:02 AM in reply to: Some San Diege Layoffs coming at San Diego Data Processing… #502507ParticipantThe issue for any city govt in financial distress is not Unions. It is not top-heavy administrative positions. It is not a lack of taxes/revenue. It is not a lack of “competition”.
IMHO it is a lack of quality managerial types and the lacking of managerial skills that should accompany any position of authority,…
…that are not capable of holding personnel accountable and by default not able to produce an ever increasing efficient workforce….like one should expect in the Private Sector….which MAY be indirectly relaeted to Union control….
….just a vicious circle. Better quality people require better pay. “Managed Competition” may have the opposite desired effect in the long run. Or maybe not.

Participant[quote=investor]Texasline. In re-reading my note, I owe you an apology…More to your point, when anyone “sees” the big picture, one is less likely to trust their retirement in a 401K and rather invest in investment real estate that cash flows.I’ve stopped putting my money into a simple IRA and I’m looking to get out of all debt…Not being able to get to your 401K money is just another reason not to use a 401 K as your retirement vehicle. Again, sorry if my comment was taken as a criticism.[/quote]
Absolutely no apology necessary. I was just trying to “re-direct” the conversation, and get more points of view.
I agree with your actions. I am also ending all my debt. Well I shouldn’t say “all”.
I’m going to keep that lovable car loan for a while, but the credit cards are fading…I have also taken a portion of my 401 out and am using it to pay away that debt and buying gold and silver as both a “hedge” and a safe place to put my “down-payment”. So far so good…of course I am implying that I’m prepared to go into greater debt with a mortgage….but I just can’t stand renting anymore!
4plexowner- also an interesting article.
