banks are already a scam the whole system is. banks do give your money away x 9 or something like that. deposits are the loans that go out but in digital means these days. as you've heard from ron paul and can see today 2008 money is just printed out of thin air. research more my friends this does not mean stop making as much as you can even though its worthless wealth only backed up by everyone agreeing to use

Gotta LOVE politicians. NO HONOR. NO INTEGRITY. They PLUNDER every sum of money they can reach.Their GREED and DISHONESTY know no bounds.The concept of LIMITED GOVERNMENT has been lost.Blatant dishonesty is a character requirement in politics.

Fireman and Policemen are the only line of defence against crime and fire death and loss. It is unbelievable that towns would cheat the future of all these brave souls in the name of enhancing their personal political goals. What has happened to integrity?

sorry I intended to say as of 1-1-2008

As of 1-1-2007 you can still borrow your own money but you now have to pay whatever interest rate the state treasure decides is the going rate. However, the state still does not have to pay back even the principle that they,"borrowed." The kicker is,all the interest that you pay on any loan taken after 1-1-2008 goes into the general treasury fund not the pension fund. Looks like the state of New Jersey found another way to rob the pension fund.

It seems that if we want to borrow our own money from our fund we have to pay back 4% interest but NJ state can borrow millions and not have to pay back anything. 23 years on the job and I wonder if i'll see my pension.

God bless the public servant. My Grandfather died in the line of duty as a firefighter from Bloomfield and it can and does happen time and again. Protect those who protect us.
