Is this statement true or false (Pa. is the reference state): As a result of the economic turmoil and market collapse of 2008 the teaches pension funds declined in value to the point where taxpaye /alternative resources were needed to be tapped to meet current obligations.

I thought that was the case just before I moved.

Are teachers pensions "fixed" or can they collapse (like many 401K's did)?

You live by the union, you should die by the union. There should be no taxpayer money going to these unions, ever.

Quote for the Day
 
"What’s really going on, I think, is that the nature of class war has changed. The old virus has mutated. The old social and political divisions have given way to two new classes — rather as on the trains. Those in economy are most of us, paying for the comforts of those in first class. And those in first class are the new political class — all those who owe their advancement and their security and their pensions and their privileges not to their backgrounds or their talents, or even necessarily their political parties, but to the state and our taxes."

Strange
 
It is very strange that the unions back the democrats.

The unions get their money, to back the democrats, from emplyees of private companies.

When they destroy the companies the Government will own them.

Then the unions will get their money from the Government and they will give it back to the democrats.

If you do not understand this don't worry neither do the unions and the democrats.

It is a vicious circle, huh? And the teacher's union takes money from private people ( taxpayers) and set themselves up for life with fat pensions. All in the name of the children.

Donna: Bad metaphor. It's the people in first class subsidizing the low fares of the people in economy class. It is definitely NOT first class riding on the backs of economy class. (Mind you, I say this being the beneficiary of Aer Lingus providing my finacee and I with Boston-London and Dublin-Boston tickets for a grand total of $575 per person ROUND TRIP, Paris to Dublin fare for $0 - yes ZERO - that went up to $200 once all the taxes and fees were added but still a cheap price).
