[Gov.] Schwarzenegger wants legislation creating a two-tier system that would deliver lower benefits to newly hired public employees -- not only state workers but firefighters, police officers, teachers, and other local-government employees.
Along with proposed cutbacks in retiree health benefits, Schwarzenegger says, the plan would save $90 billion over the next 30 years.
California's conservatives complain that our public employees are paid too well and have really good health care and pension benefits.
Progressives say that the POINT of progressive policies is for people to get
better pay, health care, benefits, and pensions.
Conclusion: If you don't want to have good pay, good health care and a good retirement plan then go ahead and vote for conservatives.
