This is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock,

I'm sure the guy that just had his job outsourced, and is now fightin' for that pizza delivery job, can hardly wait to have his mortgage payment jump up, to fund some teachers pensions, 401k is what most of us working in the non government jobs got.

With this lousy economy, Why do these teachers feel they need royal treatment, and increases in their pensions. How selfish!!! Right now, values of our homes are falling thru the floor, the taxes should be going down with the home values dropping.

Yet, we will get the same old story of how, the quality of education will be compromised, if we don't make sure these pensions are well funded.
