I heard Newt say on FNC this morning, that 80+% of athe State Police in California retire on “disability”.
I see the day coming when the American people are going to demand that unions have got to go.
Sadly, that presumes they would have to know about the problem. The media has begun to report anecdotal evidence of public employee compensation abuse. But it's a bare trickle compared to the magnitude of the problem. San Diego appears to be somewhat of an exception in that its budget/pension problems are being aired in public.
Most states/municipalities hide behind their leviathan budgets. Need Billions to (over)pay public employees? Need billions to fund public pensions (including politicians' pensions)? Simply hide the funding in next years budget THEN tell taxpayers the deficit is attributable to schools, police, firement, etc. The media never gets around to highlighting the billions that were first stuffed away for public employees.
never....the fastest growing unions are the govt unions and what they want, they get.....
its two classes in AMerica.....the govt workers and the rest of us poor slobs...
