You've now posted 2 giant paragraphs...you used the word numbers, but I'm not sure you know what those are because you still didn't include any. I am comparing social security in the sense it's something everyone pays into and like the pension fund it was raided by politicians to plug budget holes and fix deficits they created. Social security shouldn't be insolvent, it's insolvent because the money paid into it is taken and used for many other discretionary items. The pension fund was treated the same way. People in the public sector sacrifice income to get better than average benefits. Clearly you know nothing on this issue because all you can do is cite the credit union crisis 20+ years ago, when I was in pre-school as your big scandal. Anyone can google names of union leaders and throw out these "corruption" falsehoods, but that's the only trick in your book. The public sector has taken a huge hit through the recession, and what people like you fail to realize is that public sector workers pay taxes too. You live in this fairy land (along with your heroes on talk radio) that talk to the "lavish" lifestyle that these TEACHERS, JANITORS, COOKS, LANDS & GROUNDS employees live. These people make less than $35,000 a year. It's funny that people with your point of view look down on people for bashing the rich, yet you people make a lifetime out of trashing people that make an honest living. You can blame union leadership and all the other "corruption" you speak of. The fact is that hard working union members paid into a system (some for 25+ years) and at the end of all their hard work, their told that they will get 75% of what they were originally promised. If you don't think there's anything morally wrong with that, than that says a hell of a lot more about you than it does me. Had the state made their side of the payments they were supposed to the system would be solvent. THAT'S A FACT!! Now you obviously don't know what those are since you haven't used any...but once again I ask you to come back with facts. Not the names of politicians and union leaders from the past 30 years. I know that can be hard to get off the talking points Johnny Dipetro gives you everyday...but try a little harder next time.
