You keep referring to me. It's not about...Norm,<br />You keep referring to me. It's not about me. I'm just telling you what the situation is: There is no money, and if you can't keep borrowing and you start printing paper money the value of it starts going to zero. Have you noticed what's been happening to the price of gold? What do you think your pension will be worth then? <br />You're on target when you write about the wretched conditions that the demoralized and disrespected teachers deal with, and the miserable UFT leadership. Stick to that and think of some ways that you can communicate with the broad mass of teachers who are just not getting the message.28 year retired nyc teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-12999672075479921422011-09-08T16:22:51.692-04:002011-09-08T16:22:51.692-04:00Don't tell me you are buying the scam they'...Don't tell me you are buying the scam they're pulling on social security? There's money but they have been stealing SS money for general funding. Then they claim it is going bankrupt- like you buying a Farari and claiming you have no money for food.<br /><br />I'm surprised a pensioned teacher would attack government pensions. You must be living pretty well. I'm curious what alternative to your pension you would have preferred.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-26680890977328471372011-09-08T15:05:39.617-04:002011-09-08T15:05:39.617-04:00hey norm!!!!!

Unfortunately, you didn't answer it very well or at all. <br />The thing that you and people who think like you don't want to face is that this government pensions-social security-government spending situation has run into a stone wall ,is completely untenable, and is coming to an end.28 year retired nyc teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-38704381558193860032011-09-06T19:20:34.812-04:002011-09-06T19:20:34.812-04:00If the Tea Party had been in power you would have ...If the Tea Party had been in power you would have to work another 28 years and still wouldn't be able to retire.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-34237200917147235512011-09-05T14:58:13.261-04:002011-09-05T14:58:13.261-04:00hey norm!!!!!

What's wrong is the people we vote into government who refuse to put in place laws that will make it impossible for businesses to run wild over the American public. Not all businesses do that.<br /><br />Unfortunately the Dems in this city know that our district (I am from Weiner's district too) will soon be phased out. As for the Dem's pick, he is a real A-hole for ducking out of that debate and giving Middle Village the chance to vote him out.<br /><br />Where the hell is Cuomo on this?? He should be calling the shots and making sure the Dems are in control of the situation. Believe me, if I had a chance, I would do a Bobbitt on Weiner for messing up our district. I also knew when he withdrew from the mayoral race, something big was up. Most likely Bloomberg's people had the goods on him since Bloomberg hired Wolfson.<br /><br />btw, hell will freeze over before I ever vote Socialist whether in a political election or union election.Schoolgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327692336247705060noreply@blogger.com
