Bankruptcy is law too, my friend, and it was passed too for just this reason.
They (Illinois retirees) won’t get what they expect, not because someone is not conservative enough in your opinion, but because mathematics is an exact science and there is not enough money from taxpayers to provide services for which taxes are paid, and simultaneously pay lucrative pensions.
Illinois hasn’t hit the debt wall yet, but they will be among the first, if not the first (a race with California).
This will be repeated in many, if not most states, and municipalities. It will probably be repeated at the federal level before it’s all over.
You can have services, or you can pay retirees with the tax money. You can’t have both.
Now who’s whining?
