"Pension problems serve as a 'Wake-up'"

http://kokomotribune.com/local/x597287919/Pension-problems-serve-as-wake-up

This article talks of how local government has gone over its spending money and now is in debt because of this. The money is needed elsewhere, not our government leaders' pockets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Government pensions are causing state and national debt. Also, they excuses for government positions to earn more than necessary amount of taxpayers money annually. Doing research on this topic would be extremely helpful to learn how and why our economy is struggling on specific categories, and what can be done to solve these problems. Writing about this topic will help inform others what happens to our money as taxpayers, and what can be done to help these problems from occurring often. Those who would be most interested on this topic would most likely be higher paying voters for presidents, senators, governors etc..., taxpayers, and students who are interested in politics. This information might be enlightening to them, and could help groups actually make a change if they are that interested in this topic. To those who do not know what is going on. These problems would be an eye opener to most groups. Money that is spent should be used on helpful programs in today's economy. Not overspent budgets to retired and working politicians who unworthily receive overpaid amounts of annual taxpayers money.

  1. This post is insufficient Andrew. The sources are not annotated as they should be, and the commentary about your topic isn't well thought out. It's not going to be much help for you writing your proposal. You need to do a lot more thinking about the subject.
