Bankers don't...
Uhm no,they don't waste money? Roads not needed,high priced political favors ,money for sports that have no tax payer benefit to the public.Yes, in a desperate attempt to compensate for bankers confiscating purchasing power from city revenue.
A few million,if I can't make on that I'm stupid.it disburses to us all more then I make monthly aND still gains money. So tell me how my pension was better?Completely useless if it doesn't buy as much as it did. Its just an illusion. As in the case of Jason's trust fund.
1320.48% would be the rate of return from a S&P 500 mutual or index fund since 1973. My guess is Jasons trust fund in invested in income producing stocks (conservative) at the expense of growth stocks....typical for trust funds especially as a person gets older.Jason, take the case of your trust fund. You say it has gone up 400% since 1973. Since 1973 the CPI has gone up 451.3% This means your trust fund lost ground to inflation. It doesn't buy as much today as it did in 1973.
Your only.looking at that not the cash it gives. So a home built in 1910 which if I own Shoukd be low cost abd exempt from.govt codes unlike a new house?.oh wait bringing up old structures to new code isn't cheap.I have seen structures using old plumbing, asbestos ,aND 100 year old electrical wiring .380 instead of 240.if I sell that I shouldn't expect a greater return then when I bought it? Those are not something I want to own, cost prohibitive.nor would I rent one.High utility billsJason, take the case of your trust fund. You say it has gone up 400% since 1973.

As well as people who work there, companies that supply the bank with goods and services and shareholders......kinda gets spread around.Who pockets the interest on those loans, not to mention repayment of principal?

OK, whatever dude..
It's also must be recouped.an improved home Sells.it's also going to cause inflation as home prices increase so does yours.my mom could sell her home as much as my smaller home easily but she bought her for a third of the price.If you improve houses, you will benefit. You don't need inflation for that, just improvements.
Gold wouldn't be available nor does it gain.I buy gold for stability in sour times not fir investment it's a commodityYou said it was only paying out for the recent few years. In any case, with a gold standard, you would still get the cash plus your fund would buy more today than it did back then.
Pensions Have never been fully funded.dB usually dnot have inflation increases built into them.Of course there are inefficiencies, and that should also be addressed. However, there were also inefficiencies years ago. The only difference is bankers have had years to confiscate city revenue.
Yes, that's true. However, if the pension plan is fully funded, it can still payout pensions regardless of the company's status. The PBGC takes over the pension plan, and makes payments.
