I'm unclear how long-dead democrat politician's 1970s "promises" to unions OBLIGATE living in 2013 people's requirement to pay for said "promises".

Just looking at the numbers, it appears that you could take every last dime of a productive citizen's taxes to pay Detroit retirees, and it would leave the city with absolutely NOTHING to pay current "public servant's" salaries.

Let alone their pensions.

And boy I am SICK of hearing: "well, these were elected officials".

Dammit I DIDN'T elect them.

Stupid, corrupt, lazy people did.

Why do I have to suffer because of 40 year old graft?

You KNOW that the congress will pass a bill to bail out Detroit.

I hope the House is not stupid enough to fall for this. But I'm uncertain of that.

As a federal retiree, I hope the best for everyone, whether they’re public or private retirees, or young people seeking to build a future for themselves and their families. It’s a misconception that those of us with supposedly secure retirements have no concern for the fate of others. I hope you, and others like you, can get the security I seemingly have, and more.
