"If your friend told you to jump off a bridge
Would you do it?"
Even if he had a degree in physics and a trunk full of bungee jump safety manuals?
And your other friends were putting on jump gear with Indifferent shrugs to their future safety since your expert friend is confident and assured this is for not only your own good, but for all of your children combined?
And if you consider not suiting up, is your position perceived radical and selfish since you're concerned about what might become of your own children, as well as your friend's children?
And if you try to reason that you think you might have found a way to traverse the treacherously steep and rocky embankment down to the cool, clean water of sustainence that they are all craving, albeit a little more difficult, and a little slower, while preserving each other and our children in the process, would they listen?
And if they plead there is no time and the most direct and satisfying indulgence is directly over the guard rail, then look at you and ask.....
"Are you in or out?, we can't do this without you."
What would you choose.......
Is this is an extension of the underfunded pensions of yore? The schools are actually getting more money per pupil, but must allocate more to retirement, and then rely on Building bonds to maintain/replace buildings and equip?
