Quote from achilles28:
I don't care who these people are, no teacher should earn over 70K. And no administrator, over 100K. And that's generous. These are unionized jobs, with Cadillac medical and pensions, at least 3 months paid vacation and total job security.
That those teachers and "administrators" accepted 10 MILLION DOLLAR pensions, shows what corrupt, parasitic leeches they are. 9th grade teachers and hard-on VP's making 400 grand?! Are you fucking kidding me?!??!
Would anyone here, in good conscience, accept 300 thousand dollars a year for teaching highschool English? How about a 10 Million dollar pension, on top of it? Most professions make less than that. In fact, why are any of us posting here? These Illinois teachers make more than the average guy on Wallstreet. Fuck being a trader. Better to join the Ill. teachers union and rape the taxpayer blind.
Jokes aside, this is criminal. I pray the FED imposes austerity on these leeches and refuses to bailout the States. It won't happen tho. Ben will destroy the currency to make good on union contracts. So these fat slobs in Illinois who can't teach kids how to add or read, get their half-million-dollar a year pension. Fucking unbelievable.
And yea, the military budget can be cut by half. 1 Trillion to 500 billion. We've still got another 1 Trillion to go before we balance the books. Lets start with all these Federal and State Unions that have raped us blind for the past 30 years. Paybacks a bitch. I wanna see these guys take it up the a$$.
Let me just add something to this. It's bad enough what they are getting paid but look at what they are getting paid FOR. Education has been in decline in this country for 30 years now. Drop rates at record highs, math and science scores plummeting and illiteracy rates getting higher every year. They are getting paid this amount of money to produce idiots and dropouts. We have high schools in IL that have 50% drop out rates!!!!!! That's what makes this truly a disgrace.
