I’m also sick of all the whining about govt workers.
We’ve spent **TRILLIONS** on Wall Street (far more than the budget and pension deficits in CA), where those who’ve created all our economic problems (including the pension problems, BTW) are getting richer than ever; yet the violent anger is missing there. I wonder why? It makes me wonder who is **really** behind all these attacks on public workers.

Created all our economic problems? You really believe that?
Sorry to nitpick, but you are comparing federal spending to the spending of one state. Both are unsustainable.
And about those trillions, so the public anger about the bailouts and crooks on Wall Street and the vultures running the banks isn’t particularly violent enough? I dunno, maybe that’s so 2009. Maybe it is a little out of proportion, but that’s how these things swell up. Public pensions are the hot topic and a legitimate one. I didn’t read the U-T story , so I can’t comment on whether it was fair or not.
Haven’t we also spent billions in stimulus money shuffling money to local and state governments to prevent public sector layoffs?
Edit: Oh, I didn’t realize there were already many volleys served.
