California public/govt employee unions make the Chicago union political machine look like childs play.
And this week we had phony pension reform proudly announced by Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown.
As a HJ rep stated, the only way real pension reform happens is through a change to the state constitution. And reform is not the answer, pensions need to disappear for govt workers.
I heard a stat today: If you work in the private sector in California and live in California, you will pay more than $23,000 over the next 2 decades for some damn gov’t worker to retire in a way you in the private sector can only dream of – and that’s just for gov’t worker retirement benefits alone!
The best thing to do is to get out California, the pension liabilities are already bankrupting cities in California.
California’s gov’t employee unions have absolutely DESTROYED California. No question about it.
