Did anyone see or hear Beck today? He brought up the subject of government pensions. Bottom line, he asked "Why do have to have them?" Not everyone does.

This will probably open a can of worms but I thought it was a very interesting topic. After all, why can't WE all have pensions (sacasim) is what Beck was asking. Then, he went into the various sides but he raised alot of valid points. For the most part, unless you are a government employee you are left outside.

Living in Jacksonville, our local economy is is playing hell with them. The local pensions guarantee at least 7% each year. I don't know about you but I would love to have that guarantee with the stock market. It is costing our city a bundle. I am in full support of those that recieve it like police and firefighters, but 'come on man. Can I get a pension (or anything) that guarantees this a year? What are your thoughts?
