Does anybody think that politics may take priority over sound lending practices when it comes to dishing out the dough.

In the private sector you pay towards your healthcare and your contribution doubles when you cover your spouse. I'm not talking about copays, I'm talking about paying premiums.

We are splitting hairs here, whether or not you agree with the pension plans in NJ or not..the point is the politicians can't keep raiding them to fund social programs....borrowing from them in the past is part of the reason for the huge deficit in them now...
