How many of your states or towns are facing a crisis similar to the national one on Social Security?

[Stinky The Clown]

In Baltimore, the police and fire pensions have been underfunded for years. Mayors have kicked the can down the road one time too many. Now the fund can't even meet current obligations. It is several hundreds of millions underfunded and there's not a penny anywhere to be had. There has been talk of taking the city's reimbursement from the feds for last winter's Snowmegeddon and "borrowing" that to pay the firemen and cop retirees.

It would be convenient to say the assholes at the local level did this, but that absolves the REAL culprits - those repubican fucks who got our whole society so deep into debt we may never get out.

No matter's who caused this, the last person holding the bag gets the fucking at the polls come November. As usual, it is the hapless Democrats.

The repubicans have NO problem demagoging the Dems. The Dems, however, are always inclined to eat shit and ask for more.

What's going on in your state or town?


Thank You Sir. May I Have Another?
