Jeez - how can even their ill informed amen chorus stomach this swill over and over?

I have a "dog in this fight," so to speak, but their yammering and harping non-stop on this subject just puts me to sleep.

"Union bosses" "unfunded liabilities" "lowest state in the nation" "Democrats caused this crisis" "retirement funds are ready to capsize" yadda yadda yadda - one guy hollering like his hair was on fire this morning "We will be another DETROIT (!!) "if something isn't done about pension reform!!!" "greedy pensioners" bankrupting the State".....

zzzzzzzzz.........zzzzzzzzzz........zzzzzzzzzz
