Yep, the same mess occurs here, except the politicians give themselves higher and higher salaries every time they sack people (thus undermining any potential cuts they make). But overall the current pension scheme (earn most of what you earned is good enough itself). It's just pure greed that's driving the debate that's all, ironic since they are so willing to give some of their salary to the poor (yet not willing to give it back to ordinary Americans).So far, you are refusing to understand that it is a PART of the problem that needs to be addressed......Governor Walker has already made the case so, the onus is not on me.So far, "Wicked Jester's" whole argument is based in the unproven assumption that the public sector unions "bloated benefits and pensions" are at the root cause of Wisconsin's budget deficit.
The onus is on him to provide proof that this is indeed the case.
Lets face the REAL facts. It's now time for the public sector unions and its members to bite the proverbial bullet. Like in many states, their bloated pensions and benefits are no longer sustainable.........Nobody is taking their pay, benefits or pensions. They can still collectively bargain for pay. Benefits and pensions will now be off the table. They are just going to have to live with what they've agreed to, and not try to thug the state for more down the line. Those Benefit and pension plans are what most in the private sector can only dream of.
You can ignore all the evidence. Go ahead........You're a tax and spend liberal. That's your solution to everything. Doesn't matter what is presented, like the troofers and birfers, it will be ignored because it goes against everything you believe in.
