he's pushed for them to contribute toward their health benefits.

You mean just like almost everyone in the private sector? The horror!

[Joe Boucher]

as for the protesters?
F- em.
Get a job not feeding from the public trough.

Here’s what I do not get. If these people don’t do it for the money as many of them claim, then why shouldn’t they take a 50% or more pay cut? After all, it is for the children isn’t it?

[Psycho_Bunny]

Freakin’ leeches.

Where’s all the rich, limousine liberal ‘rats lining up at the state treasury to pay more so these bozos don’t have to protest?

How about budget cuts in Zero’s expense account at our White House?? OMG, the King doesn’t get his Kobe beef every night and the Queen can’t entertain herself on We The People’s money.

They seem to be very unhappy in NJ.
Maybe they should just move somewhere else.
Surely there will be property owners in another state, that won't mind being taxed into oblivion to support them.
Seriously...

A couple of years ago, the city of Vallejo, in California was forced into bankruptcy, as a result of underfunded pensions. The politicians promised all kinds of pension bennies, but never funded the plan appropriately. As a result, firemen and cops, who gamed the system to retire in their 40’s with 150,000 pensions were told by the bankruptcy court that they had to settle somewhere in the neighborhood of 45,000 per year. Tough luck for them, but thats whats coming for all public pensioners, and probably social security recipients someday. Politicians have been able to get elected and re-elected promising unrealistic pensions to unions, firemen, teachers, cops and state, city and federal employees. Our country can deal with two harsh choices for retirees: take less than has been promised, or the gov’t will simply print way more money making your pension worth far less, regardless of the inflation adjustments you think are built in to your pension.

The Looter Class pipes up. These cuts will be nothing compared to the effect of a national bankruptcy triggered by states defaulting one after the other.

[Oceander]

SEIU astroturfing.
