Teachers: we care about kids. give me my money.
Democrats: we care about our state. give us our guaranteed votes.

I’d make them convert to defined contribution plans,too or go pound sand.

In some states, like MN, if a public employee agrees to forgo their defined benefit pension and just get the money back that they put in, the government will only give them half their money back and keeps the rest.

I know a lot of people that would happily drop out of the defined benefit plan if they could just get back the money they put in with a little interest.

RE :”Or, more bluntly, “Do the parasites outnumber the hosts?”

In Maryland the Democrats have figured out the secret recipe to elections: Public sector unions, illegals(relatives vote), criminals (ex-cons), minorities, homosexuals, early voting in Dem districts. They offer taxpayer candy to all as use it to get their voters to the polls..

So now Democrats here regularly raise taxes(big increase too), photo-speed cameras, cell phones driving, tuition discounts to illegals, same sex marriage, free college for certain people (especially new immigrants), living wage laws that jack up the cost of ANY public sector project, without a worry of a backlash. The vote is completely controlled with tax $$$.

YMMV. Conservative teachers absolutetly love outspoken Conservatives. :) Especially when they have to hide their own conservativism.

Chris Larson tweeted this photo from outside his State Senate Office

He is barricaded in there with protestors.

So, it could be said that the Democrat Legislators are “shutting down the government.”

So far, yes.
