Let's go swimmin'!
It's how Democrats grow government and get re-elected to grow some more. When this generation retires, the next generation not only has a $16 trillion debt to repay, they're going to have their hands full with 20% of the population employed and 80% on government payouts. They're turning us into fricken EU. It's a Ponzi scheme government "for the people" that actually will fall like parasites do when the host dies. The quick and easy meal becomes its tomb.please cut the liberal evasion BS and tell us exactly why it doesn't matter if the debt is $16 or $32 trillion or admit you lack the IQ to do so.
You're an arrogant asshole and ill deserving of a civil response.
For others let me state what I wrote above. I would rather see the government spent its fiscal resources on needed services and projects, then to service the debt. I didn't write it doesn't matter if the debt is $16 or $32 trillion dollars, that comment is simply a lie.
We cannot satisfy the debt in a year or a decade. What we need to do is reduce the deficit but do so in a way which does not Rob Peter (state and local government) to pay the Koch Brothers.
I don't know. Public employee's make far more than folks do in similar positions in the private sector. What was that Alameda City manager pulling down 400K...for life? Battalion chiefs pulling down 300K, hell the kiosk workers at the toll booths make over 60 when you take into account their benefits. All without a college education. Bart employees start at around 100K and most of their work can be done by computers.
I think public employees for the most part are being grossly overpaid in the Bay area.
