yah...California has the 8th largest economy in the world, and yet 80% of every dime they spend is on salaries, benefits, and pensions.

These public employee unions will bring all of the States down eventually.

NO. It’s not the unions, they’re just doing what they do. It will be the spineless politicians AND the ignorant voters. This can be stopped...but it goes on...

Letting them go down is the key to the whole mess. Let ALL of these states and municipalities go bankrupt - it's the only way to get shed of the ridicouls "commitments" they've made with the money of productive people..

Get your freakin' hands out of my wallet, it's my money, not yours.

Is this really true. You have a citation

Game on. Deny them taxes and let it all collapse and be sorted out via bankruptcy. My wishes are irrelevant. Only bankruptcy can bring some rationality to this situation.

the unions aren’t bringing the states down. they are bringing down the working citizens that are expected to work longer and longer so they can pay more and more tax so the union members can relax in over compensated jobs and lavish early retirements. you have to wonder if the suckers will ever wake up.
