Again I will say Unions should'nt be attack as the evil of all and the cuase of everyone else's problems during an election year.
So are you against a Policeman ,Fireman or Teacher or Nurses getting a pension,what about Marines...should a service man or women get a pension afetr 20 years ?I say hell yes!!!!! A congressman ...hell no!

I've never said I was against them getting a pension. Whats happened is that states cannot afford to keep paying 100% of some of these pensions and health insurance cost. I think asking them to pay 5% of their pension plan was not out of line at all. I know lets keep the pensions paid in full by the tax payers and give teachers 90 day paid sick leave a year.
