Cities all over the the country are under financial stress or going into bankruptcy because they're overspent. One of the biggest financial challenges that most cities face is trying to figure out how to fund their pension obligations for pensions that far more generous than the private sector. They're trying to figure out how to cover the nut for health care costs, which are typically more generous than the private sector. Since these cost have been rising for years and administrations like Scranton have kicked the can down the road, the costs are now beyond what the cities can sustain.
See? Ain't that hard to figure.[/QUOTE]
I guess not if you've nothing more than fill in the blanks, form letter political idealogy whellie. Scranton has been losing it's tax base since the 1950s.The town was in the shitter long before the Great Recession which is the proximate cause of these budget shortfalls. Which party was responsible for that? Your slavish mindset that the Democratic Party are hogs at the public trough is laughable. You're simpleminded parroting of the paint by numbers philosophy of the teabaggers may sound intelligent when standing in front of a mirror whellie but here it's pretty much a joke. Try again.  |
That explains Scranton. Now explain the rest littered across the country. Hell, I just heard San Bernardino is going BK.
