There is so much ****ing waste in the system but those that are responsible for fixing the problem are benefitting from it so it will never be fixed.

I completely concur and it has worked in Wisconsin, by just making public employees contribute to their own pensions not cutting them fully.
Public employees should also not be allowed to double dip or have two or three pensions.
To receive a military pension one has to serve 20 yrs for 50% of the average of your top 36 months in pay and up to 100% for 40 years in. I think if you serve this country for 20 years at FAR FAR under what a public or private sector employee would be paid you deserve every cent of that pension. What more 40 years?
The teachers' union situation is the polar opposite of the military. IMO
