RunningInPlace: December 2013

More and more states are being confronted with inadequately funded public employee pensions. Millions of families across our country will be affected. The Extreme Right's ALEC, a "legislative council" which sets the agenda for GOP dominated state legislatures across the U.S., is touting pension "reform" at the top of their "to do " list. This article talks about the effects of one option being promoted as a possible solution. It isn't. While we can certainly agree that something has to be done about underfunded pensions, putting Wall Street shills in charge of "reform" is like sending the proverbial fox to guard the hen house.

So You Thought This Was About Jogging?

This blog is about economic security; people who feel like they're "running in place." The mainstream media is fairly consistent in covering the struggles of working families, especially children, but even that coverage is mostly anecdotal, and fails to examine the policies and practices which contribute to these conditions.

Pension Security for older workers is woefully underreported. This issue needs more attention. Public Employee Pension Security is currently under attack, and the outcome will affect millions of American households.

We will report on developments affecting American workers and their families, especially Public Pension Security, and encourage discussions that lead to action. We need to be part of the policy discussions that occur at a far remove from our every day lives, and to actively participate in resolving these disparities.
