Remember all those years when right wing crazies said there was a problem with unfunded pension liabilities? Well now Gov. Jerry Brown, uber-liberal is saying just that.
But Brown told a news event in Los Angeles that the changes would ensure the state's pension system would be sustainable. "We have lived beyond our means," he said. "The chickens are coming home to roost and this is just one in a series of countermeasures that will be required over the next decade."
And there is no rational limit to the state taking away. "Just one is a series..."
The beneficiaries are sore wroth:
"We are outraged that a Democratic governor and Democratic legislature are taking a wrecking ball to retirement security for teachers, firefighters, school employees, and police officers," said Dave Low, chairman of Californians for Retirement Security, which represents 1.5 million public employees and retirees.
The beneficiaries have exactly what choices?
