Now it’s the public sector that’s lucrative. Guaranteed pension, often at 100% of salary and loads of perks like health insurance for life. Public pensions are bankrupting county governments, they’re the reason that our roads can’t won’t be fixed, because nearly every dollar the county takes in goes to fund the pensions.

If "the Graduate" was made today, the guy whispering in Benjamin's ear would say, "Government"

the roads won’t be fixed....

the parks won’t be maintained, maybe even closed...

zoos can’t be improved, fees go up, hours go down...

we can’t hire more police and fire and teachers etc because with each hire, its a finanicial boondoggle...

this is what the public unions have done for America....
