Recession  is over

We are well out of the recession with the wage increase of 3 percent the past year.   The average wage has increased to $783 weekly.  That is figured using the wage of city employees at more than $2,000 dollars weekly and those employees in private industry working at less than $300 dollars a week. 

Of course there is a difference as stimulus money is being shoveled out by the federal government that cannot be used for city wages but it can be used to offset those thing that were covered by budget and the monies saved from the budget can be used to increase city salaries.  And the working poor pay city employees to just shuffle the money from one desk drawer to another.

And the Chinese that just went home wants us to abandon this system of the floating dollar and we want them to abandon a system that has worked for them for years.

To what I think is the gist of your rambling and muddled point: You do know that average wages in the private sector are higher than in the public sector? And that only about 1.3% of the workforce earns minimum wage or less? And further that those people making $290 or less a week pay effectively no tax between local sales tax rebates, person exemptions and the Earn Income Tax credit among others and often receive money through the tax system due to those programs. And that’s not taking into account any social services that such a person might qualify for. Your constant imagery of government workers profiting on the backs of the huddled poor masses slaving simply isn’t true. You are full of crap and you know it. You just attempt hide that fact in misspellings and fractured wording.

So does this mean that we won't have to go through the last two years of a six year wage increase freeze? Will we finally get a cost of living raise after four years without?

He makes about that much sense, but Shadows is much less entertaining.

It would be well to know if all the responders to the post were receiving a paycheck drawn upon the city coffers or from the well subsidized industries by the city like the airplane repair or the city bus manufacturing company.  One can be sure that none of the responders are SS recipients who government abandoned the COL increases for them years ago.   

Has not the time come to where all pensions are consolidated into one and that there is equal pay to all retirees in order to put a halt on a rapid  decaying economy system that past history records show ended failures?

I hear the overture now playing, do you?

Many surveys and articles are available showing that government jobs, with their perks, exceed those salaries that private industries can pay.  The private industries, not subsidized by government, must rely on the economy barter of exchange which establishes its own wage scale.

The comparison is biased by which side of the desk one is sitting at.   On the bottom line half of the world is in rebellion because governments isolate them selves from the common people.   Here in the city and state the tea party is a small spark of a peaceful rebellion that is being fanned into a flame.  Take a walk around your desk to the chair on the other side and sit in it looking for a way for halting a rising rebellion against isolating the common citizen that is the foundation of our system.  No structure can exist without a foundation.  Have fun.
