How We Are Ruled

30 January 2010

George Rebane

These pages, along with my Union columns, have shined a light on the government employee crisis that is already in the oven. Every time I have reported on the abuses of government employee unions, government employee pay, and the approaching unfunded liabilities train wreck, there arose an obligatory and automatic hew and cry from the leftwing gallery. They denounce not only the facts as presented, but also that someone would dare expose the matter to light. Name calling and ad hominem attacks are the norm, no reasoned counters are offered.

The actual situation is worse than what I have characterized. Steven Greenhut of reason.com has compiled a major article – ‘Class War’ – on the unadulterated crap that is now routinely shoveled down the throats of the taxpaying public. This is not good.

H/T to Russ Steele for the heads up on Greenhut’s piece.

You sound like Al Gore when he said he invented the Internet. The debate of public pensions has been going on for a long time in the community, in The Union and elsewhere. The difference: now the approach is one sided. It’s sad.

Jeff, I never claimed primacy, only to being a prominent torch bearer and target of the left. For the record, the 2007 SESF report on unfunded liabilities was an early wake-up call in Nevada County. And for the record, its points and suggested remedies were attacked early and often. And now these revelations, here and elsewhere across the land, have become the received wisdom on fiscal prudence which are still vehemetly denied by the union dominated left. BTW, what is the other side of the argument that promotes governments being driven into Chapter 9 bankruptcy?
