This has been very interesting to read from my friends on the Right. They seem to forget a few things so in light of common interest: lets take a look

1. Senate has been controlled by the Republicans since 2002... takes both houses to pass a budget. Now does anyone know what the pension was at before this took place? 125%. Coincidence or not?

2. Bevin was elected with 17% of the Commonwealth of Kentucky voting for him.

3. Bevin did not lie, he said he was going to "fix" the system. Good for him, people have spoken and have not liked the way he wants to "fix" the system.

4. Teachers have to have a Masters degree, many teachers have a degree that is passed that. The pay cut is made up with the pension.

5. Teachers do not receive S.S. So other groups with a 401 K will ultimately go back to Social Security system as a supplement, but the teachers do not have that. BTW, that is a federal law.

6. Speaking of Social Security most folks do not realize that teachers will only get to draw 30% of their spouse's social security. The other group that falls into this category is the Railroad workers.

Gee thanks tvtimeout. :Thumbs:

While you're in the mood to enlighten everybody on all this stuff could you please explain to us, how all you've expounded upon above relates to the mismanaged money that was supposed to be in the pension fund in question? The money was appropriated or otherwise withdrawn from the earnings of said teachers, was it not? So where is it?
