It's going to be interesting when all the retiree's retire and start collecting pensions. Looks like many major cities are going to need to either eliminate many services or really increase those taxes.

To make matters worse they'll all be moving south into red states when they retire, taking and spending their pensions there. This is why the Dems need so many immigrants to replace them.

The politicians of those cities handed over taxpayer money to the unions-in order to buy votes. Now those same pathetic politicians are enjoying their own retirement pensions-while the current taxpayers are stuck with paying for their bribes. It's time for those corrupt cesspools to collapse under their own weight.

Not only that, the people on the hook for the pensions will move south, too.

Huh....thought the official stance is that immigrants are all on welfare?? Now you say they are workers who pay taxes. Can't have it both ways and make any sense.
