Well, you said that the 14.5% raise, when coupled with the hike in out-of-pocket healthcare costs, wouldn't amount to "squat". I think we now know that's not true, don't we? Isn't it, in fact, a significant net increase?

Spence, you claim to work in business or finance, although I cannot begin to imagine in what capacity. If an entity is spending more than it takes in, does it not need to address that at some point? At some point, doesn't mathematical reality trump idealism when you are drowning in red ink?

You can go on and on and on about how these people are being mistreated, and how awful it is that their salaries are so low. What you never do, what no liberal ever does, is propose a specific, somewhat-realistic way to pay for the goodies you feel obligated to distribute on my behalf.
