We should federalize the pension problems and give these people the same amount that a disabled veteran gets. NOBODY is going to look good throwing a tantrum and proclaiming they deserve more than a guy, who became totally disabled from an IED explosion, because he drove a school bus for fifteen years.

People should be given enough to get by, but they shouldn't have the right to run cities and states into the ground with economic vampirism. Residents will move rather than paying twice as much taxes for no return on investment to keep up with these outrageous pension amounts.

The SimCity comparison holds true - look at the number of Casinos in CT - and they're asking for more.....

I go there every year. They're within a mile of each other, on Injun land. What's the problem?

In simcity, when you jack up the taxes, you build casinos as a distraction to keep your citizens from fleeing.

Don't they become magnets for crime as well?

This came up in a conversation with the wife.

Her, "I play simcity. I know."

Even the casinos are sad as fuck. I've never bet a dime, but I've been in a casino or two in my travels while stopping for gas. The first thing you encounter are the sad broke senior citizens smoking outside the door. Once you go inside it just gets worse. The whole place is rife with the aura of depression and loss.

We were looking for food after visiting the bonneville salt flats and a casino town just over the nevada border was the first attempt. The buffet was set to open in a half hour, but I wasn't about to sit in that depressing place for that long. We hit the carls junior and got out of there.

Oh trust me I know all too well. Atlantic City is 45 mins away. If it wasnt for the fact of bars on the beach wouldn't even bother. Besides if I wanted to hang out with old people who cant afford shit, I'd take an extra shift at work. At least the payouts are guaranteed.

Public pensions are a cancer. The double-dipping that is common makes it even worse. People "retire" at 45 with a pension from place A, then get a job at place B for 10 years and get another pension. By 55-60 they are taking in multiple pensions for as many years as they ever worked. It's a racket and they all know it. Try to take even part of that away and you'll be able to hear the squealing from 100 miles away.
