What a post!! I guess you don’t have private health insurance – poor thing. Why pick on state union workers who pay taxes, are law abiding citizens, etc. Why is it NOT mentioned in this politically correct forum the BILLIONS of dollars illegal immigrants cost the state and nobody says or does a thing about it. As I speak there are thousands more being born and made just to suck up all the freebies this welfare state welcomes. Why do you think we have such a massive prison system? GET REAL and stop picking on the working man!!

I say its time we (citizens) Embargo Our Tax and Investment dollars until there is real reform. Why send money to local, state, or federal government and Wall Steet. Until real reform and actions that actually benefit the common good – keep all your payroll taxes, real estate taxes, 401k, small business taxes… Will probably cost ‘ya a little but the dividends would just keep rolling in.

Oh come on, Rex. For a guy who went to law school and couldn’t pass the bar exam, went to a police academy and couldn’t get hired by any law enforcement agency and went to some third-rate teacher training program and can’t get hired by any school system you sure are bitter these days.

Why is that?

The healthcare system we have in the US is unsustainable no matter who administers it. Say good bye to all high priced surgery’s etc. A high order system requires high order maintenance and we do not have the assets to maintain it. Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare were never funded and never will be. (They are more than 50% of the federal budget) These are Ponzi schemes. Get used to it people. Best thing to do is manage your health the best you can, Eat properly,If you have space grow a garden, Watch your weight, get some exercise every day.

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“C. Falls slashes dozens of pensions by 55%; one gets cut $41K
September 2nd, 2011 at 2:30 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi’s Notes
City retirees hear about the pension cuts July 19
Central Falls slashed one in three of its retirees’ pension checks by more than half this month, with the majority of the city’s former public-safety workers set to lose tens of thousands of dollars a year.”

“Receiver Robert Flanders reduced 48 of the city’s 141 police and fire pensions by 50% or more, with all but three of those cut 55% from their original amount, according to financial records obtained by WPRI.com.”

I love it when GED cops come on here and try to con everyone with falsehoods, only to get shot full of holes with the truth!

55% BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bankruptcy will disolve any and ALL contracts, including vested pension contracts. Ask the HS educated cops and FF’s in central Falls RI who took 55% pension cuts seesaw 🙂

EDF, bankruptcy is not a way out of any mess–it is a way to create a bigger mess. How do you spell, “NAIVE”?
