What a mess. I think the biggest problem is those gold-plated
salaries and pension plans they're paying to state employees,
including college faculty.
That's the biggest danger of big gov, they vote themselves and their
cronies big money.
And the Dems want to borrow 2 billion instead of cutting spending or
raising taxes. WTF?
They should rely mostly on SS and 401k savings like just about
everybody else has to, and keep pensions within reason.
The Fed elected officials are probably worse.
They can print money.
Dead weight and featherbedders all over the place.
Hey, ever think about running for Congress?
Like winning the lottery if elected.
Thanks for getting me depressed. Don't you miss Blago?
Told ya. (-:

After the recent debacle in the financial markets, and the obvious
demonstration that they are "run" by incompetents and just plain crooks,
why should anyone have to "rely mostly on ... 401k savings..." for their
retirement, based upon corporate stocks? In recent years, the stock
market has proved itself to be unreliable.
