The problem is far more complicated than just those "greedy teachers" and the tenure system. Its about the pension system. For the past 15 years corrupt politicians have had their hands in the cookie jar and now the debt is bankrupting the state. The union says its the govts job to fix it since they were the ones who broke it. Christie says it doesn't matter who broke it. He's in charge of fixing it. They're both right. But demonizing the entire profession makes it easier for him to push shit through. And demonizing the governor gives the union more ammo. The whole thing sucks. It would be refreshing if both sides would explain to the public how and why the sky is falling instead of this HS bullshit. I guess pension reform isn't quite as titillating as ambush videos and calling Christie fat. Sigh...
