The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do for themselves, in their separate and individual capacities. - Abraham Lincoln
Remember NJ governer's speech, excerpted here: "A retired teacher paid $62,000 towards her pension and nothing, yes nothing, for full family medical, dental and vision coverage over her entire career. What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215,000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime. Is it fair for all of us and our children to have to pay for this excess?" No wonder there is a web site called pension tsunami, and it is scary!
To quote Illinois most famous citizen:
