unions are more about Democrats but even they will abandon ship...
each state has a political bureaucracy and an administrative bureaucracy....the political being all about jobs and contracts....and the administrative being about pensions and healthcare...
dumb question...but given a choice....which bureaucracy do you think the politicians will abandon first....?
when bankruptcy looms.....even Democrat politicians (like Corzine) will let the union pensions and bennies go first.....who else are the unions going to vote for anyway...?
All their budget planning was based on a mountain of false premises. Now their expectations have not panned out, and they are scrambling for money to meet all their obligations.
Public pensions are going to be a tough fight. When a politician makes a promise to people, those people now have an expectation. Those expectations were the seeds of the government's destruction.
Today's Governors are reaping the folly of their predecessors.
