When you state that public sector wages and benefots have outstripped the private sector is one way of looking at the situation. ANother way, and a more accurate way of stating the problem is thhat private sector wages (for the woorkig stiff) have not kept pace with inflation, and in fact have declined relative to 15 years ago.

Now if y'all want to swallow the GOP lies hook line and sinker, go right ahead as it is interesting to watch considering that I always believed screwing oneself was a physical impossibility.
