re: #301 palomino

sure, the overly generous pensions were one of the factors in many state deficits…but as has been pointed out, a lot of other states (with far less generous pensions) have huge deficits that are just as bad in terms of % of state GDP…so many factors involved it can’t be boiled down to one…it’s kinda like blaming whole housing crisis on fannie and freddie

some states gambled heavily and lost…I’ve been bitching about this for years and now it’s all come to a head nationwide…it’s beyond politics imo and I resent parties that exploit this fucking mess for votes…that’s exactly how we came to this point to begin with…I hate the feds
