Man I wish I had gotten in on this racket while the getting was good.
I know, now it's like winning the lottery!

My internist tells me he has a few teachers as patients and they are complaining they went from no deductible to a $3 deductible. Boy, did I miss the boat.

Go figure.
Same thing with the police.

It's "odd" how the ONLY TWO PROFESSIONS that pay substantially MORE on Long Island than in NYC are public school teachers and police officers, isn't it? Certainly not a correct and natural "leveling of the markets." More like UNIONS using politicians they own for a completely unfair advantage. Yet the taxpayers shouldn't dare to complain ... LOL ... yeah right. We can see right through you.

Yup, labor owns the politicians--at every level in this state--who promised the farm starting back in the mid-80's. The votes are bought and paid for without any doubt.

And it's clear things are only going to go in one direction, unfortunately for the taxpayers.
