After speaking with and reading the blogs of cops, teachers, firefighters, etc. in NJ I am convinced the state and many counties and municipalities are going to literally fall apart. There is nothing you can say to a public sector employee that can convince them that there is a major problem. Cops in NJ can't understand why they don't deserve $75,000 per year pensions plus free healthcare for life all starting at age 45.
Yup. I have come to regard most cops and fireman and other public workers as financial terrorists.
