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.

Any decent 401k plan has more options than corporate stocks.

Indeed, but "investments" based upon shares predominate.
Why these days should one trust retail mutual funds, mutual fund
windows, institutional mutual funds, company stock, or, in fact, much of
anything to do with funds based upon shares?

Money market funds? Maybe.

Hey - try living in CT.

We used to have medium security prison tustees cut the highway grass
and to the little things like trash pickup - saved a ton of money. Now
the DOT does it - to keep the Union drivers "busy".

Oh - even better. Used to be that the mowers and such used to work on
their own - put up signs, stay in the median and mow. Sides of the
highway, they used a pickup with a flash rack and directionals -
worked just fine - no accidents.

So now that we have a budget crisis and might have to lay off DOT
workers, they use their trucks - six of them - in a row - idling all
day - two workers per truck who sit and watch the mowers mow.

Supposedly improved "safety".

Yeah, right.

LOL, the more you talk about finances, the more it is obvious how little
you know.

Tell us how you got out of the stock market and invested your money into
real estate. That must have hurt when the real estate market tanked.

D'uh. I see Mr. Certainty has returned, after a gentle prod from Reggie
Piece of ****.

Please tell us again, Mr. Certainty, about your knowledge of the product
line of Husqvarna tractors, the wisdom of buying a boat with a 20"
transom so you can fit a 25" shaft outboard to it, and, of course, how
your etecs provide a miles per gallon result that defies various laws of
physics.

Ah the old joke stands true.
