I think some states will eventually need to declare bankruptcy and scale back the overly generous benefits that have been promised.

There will be a war over that.

Government employees are going to take to the streets to protect their pensions.

Expect massive strikes and civil unrest.

You mean government might shut down? Sounds like a plan to me!

I don't know about war, but there will be some trouble.

I'm retired on a pension from N.J. that I earned according to the laws of the state.

Someone is going to pay that retirement, or I will have to make it up some other way.

Robbing banks? No ... they're broke.

Strong armed robber? No ... too much competition there already.

Kidnap some Jersey politicians for ransom? Nah ... they aren't worth spit.

Hummmmm .... any suggestions?
