The banking parasite greedily suck up their G@yim 'contributions' to the pension scheme/scam but on the rare occasion when their victims 'unite' and demand their money all at once, the scam comes undone for all to see. If you want to see Bankers being physically harmed in an organized coup/Revolution, then piss of grassroots/middle management law enforcement and military veterans. |

I've seen it here 1000 times. When the police go in to the city and threaten and demand MILLIONS EACH in long term wages and medical care + a million dollar slush fund for as little as 15 years of civil service work, something that could never possibly pencil out, conceived with the knowledge it will ultimately fail but be backstopped by the taxpayer - you wouldn't have it any other way! |

The really hard part to live with is that it wasn't stolen. The people running the fund are just plain incompetent. Have you ever asked a stock broker what he thinks the market will do? They don't have a clue. The honest ones tell you they don't know. The morons in my state thought they did know. But at least the legislators in my state have created a retirement system so tortuous, you CAN'T get out of it unless you quit, or actually retire after 30 years! So, no runs. Still..

They opted for splashy and exotic land deals — villas in Hawaii, a luxury resort in Napa County, Calif., timberland in Uruguay and farmland in Australia, among others. The projects called for frequent on-site inspections by the trustees and their plan administrator, Richard Tettamant. The Dallas Morning News reported that officials were spending millions on global investment tours, with stop-offs in places like Zurich and Pisa, Italy. Pension officials argued that their travel was appropriate and their investments were successes."...."In his meeting with the trustees, Senator Whitmire recalled that in 1993 he had voted enthusiastically for the plan that sent the pension fund on its ill-fated quest for 9 percent investment returns.“We all know some of the benefits, guaranteed, were just probably never realistic,” he said. “It was good while it lasted, but we’ve got some serious financial problems because of it.” nytimes 2016/11/21 dallas-pension-debt-threat-of-bankruptcy |

From the linked article in OP's post: "On Wednesday, the city officially unveiled its plan to save the fund. The biggest target was the lump-sum program officially called the Deferred Retirement Option Plan, or DROP. That plan, originally intended as a retention perk for veterans, made hundreds of officers, firefighters and retirees into millionaires. DROP allowed them to retire on paper, continue working and meanwhile defer their pension benefit checks into a separate account. Once they actually retired, they could remain in DROP and continue deferring their checks." |

Even my little city of Sammamish Washington is going into the RED and they are one of the top managed areas in the state... Not going to end well... Quoting: TheToolMan The Dallas Police and Fire Pension System's Board of Trustees suspended lump-sum withdrawals from the pension fund Thursday, staving off a possible restraining order and stopping $154 million in withdrawal requests. The system was set to pay out the weekly requests Friday. Pension officials said allowing the withdrawals would leave them without the liquid reserves required to sustain the $2.1 billion fund. "Our situation is currently critical, and we took action," board chairman Sam Friar said. Pension officials and many police and firefighters have blamed Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings for forcing the latest run on the bank. Dozens of retirees rushed to request withdrawals after Rawlings filed a lawsuit Monday to stop the withdrawals. By then, more than $500 million had already gushed from the fund since the board proposed benefit cuts in August. more at [link to www.dallasnews.com] I wonder if these guys had paid anything into the pension fund or if it was fully funded by taxpayers? |
