    You've already proven you don't know shit about macroeconomics. Nothing to see here.

    meanwhile New Jersey’s Government Pension program is 37% funded and the DemoCommie Treasurer just RAISED the “expected” return to 7:5% rather than increase pension contributions from current employees, future beneficiaries to ensure solvency.

    30 year UST currently yields 3.14%

    Yet the Dems will continue to vote for these praawwmises from their trusted elected officials.

    I feel like the governor of New Jersey is a fiscal conservative. No? And the Kansas experiment has worked well.

    That being said, it's stupid to look at individual states as examples of whether liberalism or conservatism is better.

    Deficits were a problem under Barack Hussein but now everything is fine because our? guy won. Math is math. FS tribal politics.
    Don't confuse my disdain for the POS poaster with disdain for the message. I find OP completely disingenuous.


    I think the $20T debt is our country's #1 problem. The full faith and credit of the US govt is finite, imo.

    TRENTON – Acting State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio formally authorized a change in the statutory assumed rate of return for New Jersey’s retirement systems on Thursday, laying out a responsible pathway to bring the rate in line with long-term expectations without immediately overburdening local governments.

    Agree. It is finite and as rates on the debt we already owe go up we are royally fucked. We should be all over Trump and both parties in congress on this bull shit.
