COLUMN IN THE CURRENT AND GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS OF ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES:? ?The truth is that this year?s rally failed, because last year?s rally achieved nothing.??

OTHER EVENTS OF THE WEEK TO BE DISCUSSED:
1. In spite of big? union protests, the Republic Governor Christie/Democrat State Senate Sweeney ?pension reform? plan doesn?t fix the state pension system.???? This? ?fix? doesn?t cut anything from baby-boom cops, firemen, public school teachers and other government employees.? They will still get? far more in pensions and health benefits than they ever paid into the system.???? Mostly younger workers will pay a lot extra into the system.?? But this will only be enough to pay retired baby-boomers.??? Without massive tax hikes for the next 30 years, the system will run out of money when today?s workers 40 years and younger retire.
2.? NJ government/teacher retirement pay is based on the three highest paid years?not what is contributed during an employee?s entire career.?? For one outrageous example of why the NJ Pension funds are broke,? see? http://newjersey.watchdog.org/2010/06/08/david_rible/.
3. American Denial:? ?Many of us who immigrated to the United States from either war-ravaged or totalitarian countries, where freedom was either unknown or the quintessence of daydreams, find ourselves baffled by a trait common to the majority of Americans: the belief, consciously or subconsciously, that the worst cannot happen here. . . ???

4. Former Margate resident, securities analyst Rick Ackerman: ?As anyone can see, many trillions of stimulus dollars have yet to improve a dismal employment picture one iota ? only kept it from getting worse; nor have those ?dollars? boosted household incomes or real estate prices. What they have boosted are bank profits and the prices of stocks, commodities and basic goods. . . ??? For complete essay, go to http://www.rickackerman.com/page/2/
5. New Jersey already has the 4thhighest electric rates in the nation.?? But Solar Panel companies and environmental groups want? to raise rates again to pay for solar panels and windmills that are so wasteful and inefficient, that electric rates go up every time a new one is installed.??

6. Another CRDA-Stockton College bailout in Atlantic City.?? In the 1920?s? ?Dante Hall? flopped as an opera house on Mississippi Avenue in the Italian neighborhood of Atlantic City.?? Most people preferred other entertainment on the Boardwalk and throughout the city.?? After two years, the? building was bought by the Catholic Church for its school.????? The school closed ten years ago, and the? Church could no longer afford the empty building.? So it got CRDA to spend $3.5 million to fix it up.?? Now, the church still can?t afford the empty building, so it got Stockton College to run an arts and entertainment program there.??? Meanwhile, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA)? just set aside $275,000 of its casino, parking, and room tax money to fund a program for artists there.
