City problems are due to really incompetent people running them be they 
Republican or Democrat. They've done stupid things like offer 
unsustainable pension plans to attract new employees.  I still think 
those were sold to them because Wall Street wanted to gamble with that 
money.  We've allowed these people to run things because the public is 
generally apathetic and a lot of city elections are confusing and corrupt.

Pensions were never meant to keep paying the salary you received when working. 
They were made to make your retirement more comfortable than just having Social 
Security.  Same was true in selling the idea of 401Ks and we know how well that 
worked out.  Unless you are a money hound and at least an amateur stockbroker

History says otherwise.  You would have more wage slavery.  There are 
too many people running businesses that look down on laborers and want 
to work them to death.  It happens all over the world and even in the 
US.  And look at the tech companies who want more H1B Visas issued while 
there are thousands of unemployed STEM workers right here in the US who 
can do those jobs.

Bingo! years ago when UPS was negotiating a contract with the Teamsters, UPS 
wanted to take control of our pension plan. The teamsters would have nothing to 
do with it and made it a strike issue. Personally, I wanted UPS to control the 
pension because I've always thought of the Teamsters as a bunch of crooks and 
realized this would probably be an inevitability. UPS went on and contributed 
hundreds of billions to our pension plan. The next contract the same thing 
happened and warned it would be the last time they would bail them out.

Pensions were never meant to keep paying the salary you received when working. 
They were made to make your retirement more comfortable than just having Social 
Security.  Same was true in selling the idea of 401Ks and we know how well that 
worked out.  Unless you are a money hound and at least an amateur stockbroker 
these often don't work out well at all.  
  
I've read some posts on a board from folks getting these pensions and admitting 
that though they're nice to get weren't really all that necessary.

most slave holders even today do NOT work there property to death its far too 
valuable to work to death.


 What history exactly  its author?
Wage slavery its not such but supply  demand the more valued workers R paid 
more in wages or its substitute when too costly machines are purchased to 
accomplish what labors did. The un employed do not apply 4 the skill set 
required  so could work in our fields but we allow them by welfare to B 
unemployed when there are lots of jobs for pickers etc.  Or they could start 
there own business in lots of areas  thus employ others. We find when un 
employee run out many find employ we see.

History says otherwise.  You would have more wage slavery.  There are too many 
people running businesses that look down on laborers and want to work them to 
death.  It happens all over the world and even in the US.  And look at the tech 
companies who want more H1B Visas issued while there are thousands of 
unemployed STEM workers right here in the US who can do those jobs.

Probably about the same that Fed-x gets, maybe a little better. Fed-x employees 
have similar pay and benefits to UPS and they aren't union. They are generally 
paid a little less than UPS employees but usually make up the difference in

Pensions were never meant to keep paying the salary you received when working. 
They were made to make your retirement more comfortable than just having Social 
Security.  Same was true in selling the idea of 401Ks and we know how well that 
worked out.  Unless you are a money hound and at least an amateur stockbroker 
these often don't work out well at all.
 
 I've read some posts on a board from folks getting these pensions and 
admitting that though they're nice to get weren't really all that necessary.

Not so sure the cities *offer* these unsustainable pensions as much as the 
unions demand them. Cities are stuck kicking the can down the road for some 
other mayor to fix.

Reagan didn't life all boats either and neither did the Bushes so it's not just 
the Democrats fault.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
  
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
  
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
  
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
  
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
  
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and 
independence.
  
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and 
should do for themselves.
