All I saw from your links was the can getting kicked down the road.

House Bill 540 (which did pass) was supposed shore up the retiree health care benefit fund. You missed the mark with that one by just about a mile or two.


Don't knock yourself out looking for proof that the same Government goofs who spent the pensioner's money in the first place, now think it is somehow ok to saddle tax payers (again) with the burden of paying our teacher's handsome retirements. I've already conceded the point in previous posts.

My pension fund like so many others, survives or fails on it's own. Taxpayers would not be expected to bail out a mismanaged fund for anybody but government employees. And again we see in your argument that it's the same old story. You expect Uncle Sam to go back to the only well they know about, which is the bank accounts of your fellow Americans, and raise their taxes. BOOM, problem solved! This kind of ridiculousness is the real reason Trump won the Rust Belt. Democrats tax and spend and we see the result, raising taxes is like a doper's fix, which of course fixes exactly nothing and only makes them want more. So Nancy Pelosi and all the teachers and the rest of their Democrat saviors, think the fact that their pension fund is in Crisis Status is Bevin's fault, right tvtime?

Lol! You crack me up! nicker: Pelosi...really...
