I took his post as pointing out that this is what the cops and firefighters see all day long. Many of them know nothing of politics or how it came about that the lowlifes are getting the freebies in the first place. For those of them who do know, I agree with you. I can tell you for a fact that cops do not see themselves as feeding from the same trough as the lowlifes feed from. They don’t view welfare and housing entitlements as the same pool of money from which they’re paid, even though it is to the extent that public safety costs are paid from the public trough just as entitlements are. But they don’t see that at all.
Gov Walker needs to drive home to these guys, until they finally get it, that if costs are not contained then in a few years there will not be any money to pay their pensions and benefits, and that they're dreaming if they think the federal government will have the money either.
The unionistas will scream at the mere suggestion at first, but keep repeating it every day and it might finally sink in.
