Sorry, M. Ted. I work for a city that has more in the "banks" than it has in debt. They work (and I work) very, very hard to keep taxes low and to squeeze the eagles until they scream in pain. We even reuse the asphalt milled off the streets during repaving. Next year we'll start work on a plant to reuse water -- sewage treatment with a vengeance.

My pensions are guaranteed by the States I used to work in. If the bottom REALLY DOES fall out we'll all be in desperate trouble -- I can only hope that we'll survive.
