[QUOTE="gman, post: 54748"] bwatt More money then take out the benefits? At first that sounded like a decent idea. It would shut a lot of people up who say we are over paid. But once they start taking it out of your pay, how much is too much? Not saying it's good or bad, but it opens the door for more. Co-pay on doctors? Prescriptions? Pension? Uniforms? Supplies? Fuel?
