Needs done like the UAW did, everyone hired after a certain date gets the new package. That way fairness is preserved.

Glad to see that you are being reasonable about the existing promises. I'm not sure all of the pols see it that way.

I understand your point with respect to the new hires, but I am not comfortable telling the working class that it's just time to get used to diminished expectations. I think the private sector employees need to organize to improve their standard of living rather than bitch about the government workers earning a decent living. Better wages for the middle class will increase tax revenues, because we all know that the rich know how to avoid paying taxes anyway. They might as well spread some of that tax-free money around to people who are willing to work for it and pay their fair share of taxes.

Regards,

D-Ray
