Are you saying that you're more than willing to stand up and take one for the team via a tax increase locally or federally to pay for these retirees and their missing funds? The pension funds do not have the money, so it has to come from somewhere. I guess in your world the money will just magically appear, but you are not going to pay for it in some way.

I think that is what you're missing here. These people want their 'promises' but there is no money to pay for it. It has to come from somewhere. Since you're so holy than thou they should get it, I guess you are more than willing to pay more in mileages and taxes to fund their pensions than?

Everyone publicly claims they should get the money. Yet few want to actually PAY for it.
