There’s another water crisis in Michigan and I promise you the following will happen. We will pass the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill on top of the $5.9 trillion in stimulus from last year on top of the $5 trillion annual federal budget on top of the $90 billion annual Michigan state budget on top of the Benton Harbor, MI $32 million city budget and I absolutely guarantee you that these water problems will not end. Do you know why? This sentence from the 2019 Benton Harbor financial statement:
“Utility services expenses decreased from prior year primarily related to changes in pension liability”
That right there is all of it. This is why the government is insanely expensive and also complete trash at everything. People receiving pensions are by definition not working on the pipes and that is the bulk of the expense. Not to mention the useless government nutsacks who are still going in to ‘work’ and collecting $8k-$12k per month to interfere with productive people.
Also, the government doesn’t ever actually do anything. Nancy Pelosi doesn’t have a hard hat. They just steal money and hire private contractors to do the actual work. That’s fine. We need the government to do some of this. The problem is that, in the process, since these are trashy people, they siphon off half of the money to create recurring revenue for themselves and their friends instead of buying pipes made of steel.
This is part of why houses have gotten insanely expensive over the last 40 years (more recently it’s inflation but this was a problem long before that). The reason your parents could easily afford a house with their normal-type job is because they weren’t competing with hordes of bureaucrats and compliance officers and various state-actor busybody make-work non-contributors who ALL vote Democrat because it funds their zero-risk extortion racket lifestyle. These people will receive a generous paycheck until they die never once contributing even fractionally to society.
In fact it’s worse than that because they are an interference class that is a net detriment. A drag on productivity. Leeches. At least the scumbags sucking pension funds dry are not actively interfering anymore. By the way, all of these people absolutely know that they are not contributing to society, and that they are generally acting as a hinderance, but they have a zero-effort cushy job with benefits that is impossible to get fired from so they will continue to lobby the Democrats to rape your bank account.
At least the mafia didn’t pretend they were doing it for the children.
But muh teachers are underpaid!!!
