A small percentage of the population is devastating our schools and services because they once negotiated extraordinarily high compensation and now refuse to allow the economy to impact them in the same way it has everyone else.

I would agree with this actually…
And unlike other unrealistic financial obligations that get rewritten, public sector pensions don’t get writen off that easily…City can’t exactly file for BK and then not pay it (unfortunately)….
See despite all the huffy and puffy about “our U.S. future” all the rhetoric about “america having no future”, when it comes down to push an shove and sacrifice is really needed…It’s never me, it’s always someone else’s fault….It’s always someone else that needs to take the hit for the greater good of everyone else. never me….Yup, I’d say we’re pretty screwed….Everyone fend for themselves…

Very much so… Here is a perfect example of how the unions shows utter disregard for its own by chosing to take pay raise in lieu of keeping all of its paying patrons employed. So the whole idea of unions and thier “caring” about the common worker or the welfare of the student is BS to me. Of course the topic was pensions but it has been mention how the private sector shows no care for it own… Push come to show niether do the unions. The union is a business of its own and product it yields is self serving. Most don’t do the job for free and they are worried about thier jobs as well at the cost of the taxpayer.
