Rising Pension Costs Bury Michigan TAXPAYERS Despite Past Tweaks to System
My, a lot like how the Soviet Union and East Bloc died because everything was taken out of everywhere just to prop up Big Daddy in Moscow.
Just like everyone in the private sector.
Let’s see.......an industry whose failed product, illegal political activity, and violation of constitutional rights still deserves to get paid life-time golden parachute benefits for working part-time.....come on you silly Taxpayers, get with the program
We can demonize teachers and teacher unions for pension expenses but that would be like having sour grapes over a neighbor’s new car deal that we didn’t get. Michigan’s legislature and governor created and agreed to the terms of the Michigan teachers pension system. They alone are to blame for agreeing and enabling a BAD deal. Donald Trump speaks to similar government stupidity per our stupid trade deals. We shouldn’t be cursing Mexico for agreeing to NAFTA. We should be blaming our stupid U.S. trade deal negotiators and politicians who agreed to harmful trade deal terms and conditions.
Geez! Who knew letting someone retire after 30 years, regardless of age, could go wrong?
Here in DeKalb County, GA the county was letting certain “teachers” take early retirement only to be rehired as “consultants” with a six digit salary.
Plus, more and more “fertile” illegals are dumping their kids onto the backs of the tax payers for school taxes and every other welfare goody out there.
Ain’t this just swell, folks?
Wonderful gifts of love, I tell ya’!
Most taxes are for gov’t pensions. Not fixing anything. Just feathering their nest.
