They can pay for a percentage of their pension just like the rest of us, and if we weren't into entitlements on healthcare, it would actually be affordable for everyone.<br /><br />In as much as the teachers all called in "sick" and yet showed up on capitol hill, every one of them should be fired.<br /><br />And since the democrats showed they don't actually want the jobs they were elected to, their seats should be vacated and special elections held tomorrow.<br /><br />None of that would happen, of course. Because we have people trained by the incompetent teachers' own incompetent teachers running everything now.Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-63628439282504361602011-02-17T17:13:12.518-05:002011-02-17T17:13:12.518-05:00ἘΚΚΛΗΣΊΑ SAID:

When they see that it stymies their agenda, they will do what it takes to get around democracy. Case in point, ten minutes ago it was reported that the democrats politicians got on a bus and left the state----YELLOW BELLIES! <br /><br />The gig is up for them, and they are not ready to accept the new reality.Alan E.

Bob Jauch, D-Poplar.
