Mapping the $100,000+ Illinois Teacher Pensions Costing Taxpayers Nearly $1.0 Billion

Posted by eeos @ 10:58 on April 23, 2016  

New numbers show that the 7,499 ‘highly compensated,’ six-figure school administrator/teacher retirees cost IL taxpayers nearly $1 billion per year. But in just six years, the problem of six-figure pensions will be three-times worse.

In 2014 I wrote in Forbes about a pair of union lobbyists who substitute taught for one-day in the public schools and then started collecting over $1 million of lifetime public ‘teacher’ pension payout – despite a state law expressly designed to stop them.

Now, after recent Illinois Supreme Court decisions confirming that pension benefits are constitutionally guaranteed (including the pensions for the pair of union lobbyists above), the public employee gravy train is running faster than ever.

This week, our organization at OpenTheBooks.com debuted our interactive info mapping platformgiving context to the 7,499 retired Illinois educators who pulled-down a pension of $100,000 or more. These retirees cost Illinois taxpayers $900 million (2015). Individually, these pension millionaires contributed so little to the system that they ‘broke-even’ on their ‘cost-basis’ within the first 20-months of retirement.

It takes the equivalent of all income taxes paid by 330,177 individual Illinois taxpayers to fund the nearly $1 billion for the 7,499 ‘highly compensated’ six-figure retirees. By any estimation, this is unsustainable. Illinois only has 6.2 million people with jobs. Read more at Forbes

Albert Einstein and Jesus meet Donald Trump

Posted by Ororeef @ 10:38 on April 23, 2016  

 

WE can all agree that Albert was a very smart man..and he had a definition of INSANITY that beats all! .Doing the same think exactly as done before and expecting a different result each time is INSANE!
AGREED ?

Along comes Jesus who decides the World needs to know the TRUTH and spreads his word throughout .He steps on many toes and claims a higher authority as his Divine Right to contradict the Powers that be..AKA the Establishment, So by deception and stealth those Powers also known as the Establishment decide to use their Lawyers to do him in and in the end they CRUCIFY him.!

Several Centuries later after much abuse and evil doings of British Monarchs God sees fit to assemble in America a few Good MEN as a new effort to try again to give mankind a second chance.
The Founding Fathers were the Best constructionist of a Constitution ever devised by man. Agreed ?
There was not a Feminist among them to contradict every word and interrupt every thought so their minds were free from that impediment ..Thus a Document was conceived free of feminist and Lawyerly contrivances. Purity of thought and reason were the guiding efforts free from contamination.

Two Centuries Later along comes Donald Trump who sees how neither Jesus nor the Founding Fathers had succeeded except by Martyrdom in the long run ..Jesus got himself Crucified and the Founding Fathers had their beloved Constitution. Shredded by vipers Lawyers ,Feminists,and n ere do wells from every point on the Globe. Aka known as immigrants.
Jesus never had to deal with Feminists or Feminist Lawyers neither did the Founders .!
So the Country known as the USA starts falling apart and Donald Trump decides he is going to give up his hard earned comfortable Life with his beautiful Family to FIX what is broken just as Jesus tried to do.!

So the Donald starts telling the Truth just as Jesus did and large crowds appeared as the word spreads .
A new truth teller is among us and he proceeds to follow the same path Jesus did criticizing the Powers that be,AKA the Establishment ;the Lawyers and the NEW detractors the FEMINISTS that Jesus never had to deal with.
So how does Donald think he can succeed where Jesus and the Founders failed by doing exactly what they did and expecting a different result ? Telling the Truth ,doing by example , producing a result everyone is envious over ,but wants to tell him how do it better ,yet none of them can produce results neither Lawyers nor Feminists have any success creating a better life without DEBT .
There is only one conclusion any thinking person can come to just as Albert said doing just as Jesus did and expecting a different result is INSANE .So after the Lawyers and Feminists have tortured Donald from a ten thousand Paper cuts and words from Feminist Lawyers the only thing left to look forward to is his Crucifixion .Albert was right ,Jesus was right and Donald is INSANE ,just as Albert said.

Former FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg named in massive conspiracy and racketeering lawsuit involving Johnson & Johnson, a Wall Street hedge fund, and the Levaquin drug

(NaturalNews) The former head of the FDA, Margaret Hamburg, used the federal agency to run a massive conspiracy of racketeering and fraud in order to generate millions of dollars in drug company profits for her husband’s hedge fund firm, alleges a damning lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

The lawsuit alleges that while acting as FDA commissioner, Margaret Hamburg engaged in a wide-ranging conspiracy to approve an extremely dangerous drug known to cause severe (and even deadly) side effects, in order to financially benefit her husband’s hedge fund which held very large financial positions in Johnson & Johnson, makers of the drug. “Defendants, each and every one of them, operated a criminal conspiracy at least between the years 2009 to 2015 to fraudulently suppress warnings about the devastating effects of Levaquin,” says the complaint.

Your hard to read sometimes but know you mean well and try to be honorable. Sometimes I wonder if you speak another language which can cause misunderstandings.

Yes the new formed gov did have wisdom but the nature of man wasn’t much different even then. Today people have more equality and freedons fhey had then, especially women who couldn’t even vote and minorities.  They created the seeds to this freedom but I don’t think they fully realized it then. As I mentioned even Franklin caused the deaths of the natural inhabitants of the ” new” world over immigrants and history repeats. He signed the Indian Removal Act that let to the events of the Trail of Tears. They speak of limiting Gov but yet it was all Gov then and the natural citizens of that time had little to no say as the stole their land and ransacked their property. The current natural citizens should pay attention before they’re next. No different than executive orders or political cronyism for personal profit.

Ok..one should never , not be a gentleman

Just a point. You lived in a world where there are opportunities for you to research many historical venues which in real past historical times were absolutely never available to your heritage. Trust me ..

Clear..

My point..to you..you need to understand the knowledge that the founding fathers endeavored to try to protect you! I once shared..no free person left Britain/ Europe..trust me..it is  all very above your pay level..there was Americans ..then Australia ..think France and continental europe. I am certain there are those out there which would dewberry the fact, LOl For those leaderless ..trust me. Great insight..read the history of Australia..be certain to understand .when American became free lol..and England needed a new..far away land…to well..you all need to understand the old and real …truth.

 

Now I have lost your focus..Goldie..That war/conflict..I think was the beginning ..my generation..what was that about?

Then..there is

Hpo is that train..hum you need to know Armsreong..is it all good..it is all manipulted..did you see that wtc 7 fall, darn..they ebven told us to watch..

As another would direct..pass the popcorn..he and I, know the “movie”.

Always late to the conversation, hum start, a new one

Prince..never understood  the whole thing..call me, old..or an old man with musical and classical..well enough of that! Smile Still lost about The Obama  man.hence

How could i ever understand, Prince? Before ..we all LOSE  reality!!! Folks..what ever are you being feed to reality and real important live need news!!!!

OK..walk we me..even those ..we most..smile

One post..smile

Allow me, to share with you reality this evening.a

Things are not well.

Things continue to be not well this week.

Things continue to marvel me weather wise..this spring …where I live, smile.

Things have for a number years not made logical acceptability..sense.

Things: it is Friday, you all know things. are prepare .otherwise you would not read here!

OK..I will start..Gold

I think….Fact, I was introduced to the metal at a very young age. Truth, Boston..as a youth, with my father, long story. Point, the gold market, you have been there!..shared, buy this boy ..he also mentioned old gold coinage. I did ..

In those times, like all here, we never understood the..levels of knowledge..knowledge is power. We never understood history..been very certain of this fundamental. Other wise you would have NEVER read here!

Allow me to suggest the North American masses were once shared truth historical insight and then ..well..so frequently here. If i were to share to you .. my sentences would lose you. grin

My point..this evening..you know.. many know, global leaders know..there is …the sheep feed know and then there is …the masses…you need to really think about when

allow me ..A perfect sentence for you, farmboy..There is a historical amount harm happening, gold is worthless, building free falling, a free founded great nations now gone , the master of ..I have no words, where we are know, how did this happen. Once a man share a simple knowledge ..follow the money. Hum money….what a story..

Oh no, iths was not one snmectence..grin .darn

Lol looks like you and I are on the same page. Hind site is 20/20. Too busy to stop and smell the flowers.

Auandag, Didnt know he was that young. They are mostly good people and good neighbors but I’ve seen how trying to pinpoint the end has caused some unfortunate decisions. Like a family with children selling their homes moving into apts to have more time to spread the word and save as many as they can before the end comes and then it doesn’t. Meanwhile real estate went way up.  It even says in Matthew Jesus that time no one knows but my father.

goldielocks @ 16:36 I don’t know why he fell for that JW crap

Posted by Auandag @ 17:34 on April 22, 2016  

JW was started by a 20 year old named Charles Russell. They have a committee in Brooklyn who interpret the bible. Nobody knows who is on the committee. They predicted the second coming in 1914 and the end of the world in 1916. They have whole bunch of wacky beliefs that are distortions of the bible.

Whatever happened it’s a major loss, because at 57 he had decades left to make music….I never saw him live, always wanted to, but put it off…..next time etc.

Did the same with John Lee Hooker…always regretted it.

Gonna book me some Dylan tickets…because u just have to.

I heard the rumor about aids but not about the JWs telling him God will heal him. I studied with JWs when I was young as well as other religions to enlighten myself and see if there is any core beliefs that came along with it. I do not remember ever claiming they don’t need modern medicine like the Christian Scientists. They don’t take blood transfusions it all I remember. The group is basically a good and trustworthy group. You can hand your baby to a fellow JW and vise versa without worry for instance. There reason is Jesus said don’t drink blood so they argue if we’re not to drink blood they shouldn’t take in in their veins either. Plus there are many blood born illness that you can get. That was way before AIDS and Hep C became promminent. I did not agree with that philosophy if someone’s life depended on it. He became a JW I think around 2001 If he already had HIV it seems along time to live without taking drugs. He is in that target age group where HIV was running rampant though. I’m just hearing now they suspect a prescribed drug OD but not suicide. Just speculation and talk right now.

No weekly reversals…..so Scum ain’t that good at painting.

Posted by Maddog @ 16:15 on April 22, 2016  

Silver was miles outside its weekly Bollinger, so a pull back was needed.

All in all a very good week, despite the Scum doing their best to mess with our heads.

Unfortunately there are stories that he had aids, due to a very promiscuous past and that when he became a JW, he was persuaded that God had cured him, so stopped taking the meds…..it blew up again and being a JW stopped him reacting soon enough……Flu/Pneumonia is often a euphemism for aids……I hope it is not true…but wouldn’t be the 1st time JW’s have caused tragedy.

Looks like the results of Prince autopsy won’t be finished till toxicology reports come in and that can take weeks. Because he was a JW Id hope to think he wasn’t taking drugs. It said today that when he was on the plane he became unresponsive so that is pretty serious. I mentioned to my daughter how he crossed all barriers of status quo and was his own person not pushed into a group or even race. That one of the people he admired was Jimmy Hendrix. When he came out with the song Purple Rain  I could relate to the song Purple Haze. Purple is made of the colors red white and blue. It had a meaning including non conformist on establishment norms to those of  individuality. To be your own master which he said. Whether he knew that or not I don’t know but he lived it.

Hi Eeos

I was talking about experiences in California not NY which in someways from what I heard from Oro isn’t too much difference, just how they talk. I guess the difference well two, one if your friends are men they might feel that way. I had a few flat tires on the road when younger before I learned about temporary retreads falling apart on you and men stopped very quickly to help even if I didn’t need it but was appreciated. I did learn that some men not all have no mechanical ability but pretend to and can do more harm than good. Like a shop once broke something on my carberator and was leaking gas on pipes. A wanna be because the car died poured gas into it and told me to start it. I said that looks like too much gas and he gave me the Im a guy thing start it. I did and it went poof whike he was leaning over looking into it. He looked like Bozo afterwards with his hair and eyebrows burnt curled up. Luckily I had a fire extinguisher or he would of burnt my car up which was on fire. I took it to a real mechanic and he told me how lucky I was and how dangerous the situation was. That the gas leaking on the pipes could of caused a explosion big enough to blow the roof off the car.

Thats the second, people will stop or turn into rubber necks blocking traffic. Because people are standing around doesn’t mean they know what they are doing or even do anything. Their only purpose is to be there till help comes but may not know what to do say stop bleeding or CPR. For instance in the street a hispanic slash Vietnamese child  in LA was face down bleeding profusely from the nose and not breathing when I got there. There were at least 50 people standing around but doing nothing and needed help to log roll him because of possible neck injury but if did nothing he would die before help could come. No one would help. Then two kids about 10 ran up and helped and did good. The boy survived. Hopefully not to be a Gang banger. More stories like that of all ages. They stand  there but don’t know what to do so you can’t assune because people are there they are first responders. I remember some cops once when reporting the Mexican gangster who why we’re in the neighborhood were chasing to teens with a knife because as some teens can do is mouth off to them and they jumped out of the car. They start taking you for granted and said why didn’t you chase after them? I said guys Im not 20 anymore it’s your turn.

Scum are deadly serious here.
