Pension reform for public employees is going to become a bigger issue as the baby-boomers reach retirement age. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California is exploring ways to lessen the burden taxpapers, including various privitatization options. In this "where's mine" society, of course the future pensioners will immediatlely object with a knee-jerk reaction.
Arnold was in Chicago last night for a fundraiser, and has been encountered by protesters from the Amerian Nurses Association at each stop of the fundraising tour, according to NBC 5 Chicago.
The protesters really need to put this issue in perspective, or at least this nurse does:
"'We really want to send Arnold a message. You might terminate in the movies, but you can't terminate the United States' Chicago nurse Martese Chisolm said."
