It's fine. I worked under a contract, expecting the Teamsters to pay what we contracted. If this bailout goes thru, we all receive it, including me. But I won't cheer for it thru a taxpayer bailout.Are you implying that retirement is evil? I know nothing of Marx so if you say he has a dream of what God should be I would think he is wrong. Now the Bible does discuss having Leaders and we pray they make the right decisions and watch them fail continually, so I guess you lost me. We went way off on this so I'll bow out.
People try to turn this (and SSI) into a "so you wont take it" argument. That is like saying no one should take contracted benefits because a different party won the election. Just like some on here cheer FOR a certain outcome and others cheer ANTI a certain outcome, in the end were all in this together, trying to solve the problem. This isn't winners and losers- we've all already lost in this pension issue. The problem with Socialism is simple- eventually, we run out of Other Peoples Money....
