The real problem is unfunded liabilities - I' not talking about socialist Security; I'm talking about the pensions and health care benefits for the massive government work force that is retiring.

It seems everyone's pensions are becoming a thing of the past, but the government employee's pension are backed by the full faith and borrowing ability of the Federal government.

Everyone over 65 will be bagging groceries for a living while the government scribes will be vacationing in Florida - we are truly becoming slaves to people who are putting us into massive debt; but nothing bad will ever happen to them.

Let us eat cake!

Something similiar is happening where I work, equipment and systems that worked but gave some problems are being replaced with equipment and systems that were supposed to cure the problems but end up creating far more new problems. The people who made the changes keep on drawing their big salaries while all the new problems are blamed on the workers who are struggling to operate with all this new junk. One key piece of new eqipment is so obviously not up to the task that I looked at it sitting on a pallet and remarked to someone that it would not work, so far I don't think it has operated for twelve hours straight without causing big problems.
