Where do these guys get these jobs. And I'll probably be on the street in 18 months. Laid off by Wells Fargo and too old to get another good job but too young for SS or Medicare. Oh well.

I know what you mean. When we have to fight 30 people for one position - and they cut most benefits anyhow, it's like 29 people are suddenly obsolete.
I guess we all have to wait for "shovel ready jobs", whatever the fuck that means. We allegedly don't have enough money to fix our roads now, how are we going to employ the double-digit unemployed?
1. Churches should pay their fair share of taxes and that money should be going to drug rehabilitation programs.
2. Marijuana and hemp should be legalized - even the poor might be able to make ends barely meet.
3. Our city commissioners should be locked in a cage and dropped a few miles offshore. The Pearl District was a FUCKING MORONIC WASTE OF OUR CITY RESOURCES.
4. Small business and home loans should be dropped to ZERO percent interest - no ARMS, legs or dicking around. Increase in revenue should accomplish the same feat, but more directly into their businesses.
5. The drinking age should be lowered to the military minimum.
6. One strike policy with drunk driving.
7. Implement the Don DuPay model for drug rehabilitation and get those street kids some real help and an actual future.
I could go on and on - city contractors, corrupt officials, police rehabilitation, etc. All require attention and nobody has the balls to do any of it. "This town needs an enema."
On topic: Obviously, Mister Lewis (just like Ken Lay) should be not have any pension, especially after screwing so many shareholders. Those pension contracts are only valid upon certain conditions, one of which is their corporate position upon "removal". If demotion or legal investigations deny them performing their "function" would that disallow them from receiving that ill-gotten cash? I know that sounds simple, but I really have no idea how they can obtain that kind of "futures profit" from a failed tenureship.
