From the article:
"One of the conservative causes du jour is the parlous state of public employee pensions these days. And there's no question that this really is a problem. Thanks to years of overoptimistic economic projections and the habit of politicians to prefer future cost increases to current cost increases, public pension funds are pretty seriously underfunded right now. That means taxpayers are going to have to come up with many billions of additional dollars to fund pensions at the levels that have been promised to public workers."
So if Mother Jones is admitting that Democratic promises of pensions is a problem, why do we elect Democrats?
Democrats will never fix this issue because they are in the pocket of the unions themselves, especially on a state level.
In California, it was Democrats Jerry Brown and Gray Davis that put these expensive pensions in place.
So why would we re-elect Brown to fix a problem he in fact created? Brown's campaign is largely paid for by state unions, do you really believe Brown will bite the hand that feeds him?
