WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- More than 750,000 jobs have disappeared from the U.S. economy this year and workers face the prospect of plenty more layoffs to come as a continuing credit crunch and weak consumer demand hamper firms trying to maintain payrolls.

The top 5 sign's your pension could be reduced, eliminated, or special taxed.

1.) You get one, or could get one, "maybe" someday a pension.

2.) Stock market drops a bunch.

3.) 26.4% unemployment.

4.) Your pension fund holds Derivatives.

5.) Government needs something to tax, so as to pay for bail-outs.

Ah, Hopeak. You assume all pensions are annuities. Mine was lump sum. They can do whatever they want to do now.:D

Or

6) You are under 50-years old. Most people older than that will get something from all the money they paid in while working. Everyone younger gets screwed and will have to work until they drop dead with no pension, no social security, medicare, etc etc.

does it matter if i knew what a numpty was before i got here or i learned it here, no
and yes i read allot and learn allot from life experience everything i know i was taught i one way or another but you must be a genius for figuring it out all on your own, you can sit in your little shack there and play the high and mighty if you want but not many here buy into it ever hear the song by brad paisley "so much better on line" well every time i hear that song i think of you.

Most of us don't want to have a clue about the majority of what you post Bragg,and your comment about WE being a plumber was picked up on by several of us as a personal attack,especially after your thread about "Joe the plumber"

Let's put an end to this. Personal attacks are unwarranted and unnecessary.

You always manage to get that in there just before I start attacking people personally...Dam Supermoderators! (shaking fist at the heavens)
