You know it, and I know it. Now we need to make them know it. Articles like this go a long way, but only if they read them. Someone sympathetic to them (not me!) needs to tell them the truth (for a change) and let them know that the money tree has been picked clean and there ain't no more.
They are too arrogant and/or stupid to realize that they have overplayed their hand. They think they can intimidate and shout down their opposition and that will not work much longer. They are lunging headlong into an open revolt by taxpayers and whatever form that might take. The unions, especially the public unions are going to find themselves at the point of the sword so to speak.
