With the recent Republican Ryan Budget, that cut, guts and
destroys medicare, social security, how can those same
republicans argue the police pension, in its multimillion a year
shortfall cost, be fully funded, by the taxpayers, Knoxvilles
community of retirees? The cops deserve a pension, but they
should either cut benefits, or make up the shortfalls
themselves.. I mean 5 million or so, this year alone.. That
would build a new school, repair hundreds of miles of streets,
put more cops on patrol.. They deserve a pension, but if they
want one above and beyond everyone else, they should pay for it,
the difference between what everyone else gets, matching
401k/IRA contributions, not a cadilac pension, almost full wage
and benefit, retirement..
