In September 2010, New York State Governor David A Paterson declared that New York State will use up its fund by December, 2010. Before that he will have no choice but lay off people. He once tried to reduce working days from five days to four days to cut down the pay roll and his proposal was rejected by a judge. He complained that none of those unions gave a bit of co-operation. In his opinion, economic has not recovered at all.

He has reason to believe so. In the United States, Jobs related to government are the sum of jobs in construction and manufacture fields. Bonds issued by our State governments are over three trillion dollars, much more than two trillion dollars, bank’s funds that were tied up in the market. For creating jobs in the construction and manufacture field, president Obarma once encouraged consumers to throw away cars and refrigerators etc. He gave tax refund to people who bought houses. Thousands of bail out money was spent and jobs are not increased. Now his back yard is on fire. What is he going to do next?

Things surprise me the most is that even his judge did not co-operate with him. The judger sent people to collect unemployment insurance in order to maintain government employee’s income. According to research, in the United State, government employee’s salary and benefit are 100% higher than those in the private companies. Government said it is because they need high quality workers. However, as we know many government jobs require training more than knowledge and degree such as post office jobs and policemen jobs. Even though what government said is correct they are still not entitle to give out high salary because they are out of budget. Private companies never pay salary higher than the market range if they are losing money. The judge simply protected NYS employee’s benefit but will not protect tax-payers benefit in this country.

It looks like government employees have high salary is because they are controlling the tax-payer’s fund. In a small town of LA, some government officers’annual salaries went up to 1.6 million dollars, higher than a president’s income. If a woman did not found those people’s payroll register in a garbage can accidentally, we would never have known the truth. Although they are under prosecution, but we still cannot help to question, who decides government employee’s salary and who monitor them in this country. In New York City, if a policeman started his service at 21 years old after twenty years he is entitled to retire and get pension lifelong. If he retired at 41 years old and died at 85 years old, pension and benefit that tax-payers have to pay him will be more than 2 million dollars. That is why the deficit that all our States government short in their pension fund is over 1 trillion dollars and they will let tax-payers pay it no matter what. This will be our debt pass to our children. Let me raise another question here. If government can postpone tax-payer’s retirement age, why don’t they change government’s pension system as well. Theoretically, companies that are bankrupt do not have to pay their debt. Most of our States actually are getting into bankrupt situation, why should we still have to pay that kind of benefit?

Greek government are facing bankrupt, because their government employers collecting pension up to 80% of their salary and those pension can be pass to their children. Annual salary of their officers are up to half million U.S dollars as well. When their government start running around asking for loan, their people are protesting the benefit cut. I thought American will act better and they will share the burden of the country. It looks like I am wrong. Our government employees don’t want to share jobs.

Governor Paterson’s proposal made them lost nothing. When they lost one day salary they get time to increase their life quality and they don’t accept the deal. They are overpaid all these years. For changing the situation, we must have tough policies that back up by our legal system. Situation like the judger against governor Paterson should never happen.

Employees in one New York City department once refused to increase their job duties. Mayor Bloomberg threatened to close the whole department. This should be the way we handle things. We have to actually do something to solve the problem but not depending on creating debt or printing dollars. We should decrease our salary and tighten our belt. We should increase our import tax and force our business to move back. We don’t have to worry people’s protesting. We can simply tell our business traders that if we don’t do something dollars will turn into paper. Ask them which way they prefer.

Printing dollars is just like robbing — exchanging products with blood from develop countries and give them paper. This policy will shake the moral standing of our world and create bad consequence. We have to actually pay our debt that means even to sell our house, land and citizenship to people who have money. In average, resources that American own are more than that the Chinese, Indianans and Japanese have. For the fresh air, rich land, clean water and free social system, people would like to immigrate here with their money. Our land was taken from Indian and having people from all over the world live on it today. When we use it to exchange for money we actually lost nothing. In some way we can start to build up a real United Union, proof that people from different countries and from different religion actually can live together harmoniously.
