Loath the Jeb!/Lindsey Graham/Karl Rowes of the GOP.<br /><br />The closest I've come to voting for a (P)regressive is the late Ken Gordon, a good man even if I disagreed with him (a lot). Google him.

I can't believe you are a registered Democrat. I couldn't get past that. Well, in some sense. I did read everything.

The funds have been put in high risk "investments" and the managers have received kickbacks.<br /><br />Our current senior senator came from East Coast investment firms to become head of the Denver Public Schools. The school district suffered massive losses to their reserves via bad investments by him. Strangely, he didn't suffer financially. Had enough money to run for the senate.<br /><br />That is the way these things get done. Few elected officials have the guts to go after the perps. Often, they themselves are perps.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926528617816553064.post-43478032283945893492017-04-25T18:53:29.472-06:002017-04-25T18:53:29.472-06:00Thank you, and I'm glad to help.Thank you, and I'm glad to help.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926528617816553064.post-18808667449625202932017-04-25T18:19:30.105-06:002017-04-25T18:19:30.105-06:00I am waiting for a politician to introduce a bill ...I am waiting for a politician to introduce a bill making it illegal for government employees to contribute in any way (by pacs, though employee unions, etc.) to politicians who vote their salaries. It would be a conflict of interest if they were voting in anything to do with contributors -- but there is that nasty loophole that a lot of money slips through. If you want to stop bloated pensions, that's the way to do it.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926528617816553064.post-51166208740937551722017-04-25T17:57:50.873-06:002017-04-25T17:57:50.873-06:00Thanks for posting this stuff so I can get up to s...Thanks for posting this stuff so I can get up to speed for living in Colorado, and helping route the (P)regressives in any way I can....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
