Wisconsin Senate

Looks as though you guys have a good take on whats going on here, and many good arguments have been made.

My dad has worked for the City of Milwaukee the last 15 or more years. Take my word for it, the benefits are amazing. Top notch care centers, NO COPAYS, NO Deductible, NO monthly pay-in, FULL pension without paying in a dime, and more to the list. Dental and health benefits extend to family members, NO PAYMENT REQUIRED.

My dad understands they have it good and understands the dire state this State is in. Cuts have to be made, and union workers need to start paying into the system that benefits them sooo much.

Another big thing is Union Dues. $20 is deducted from each paycheck, going straight to union bosses, then into the hands of democrats. My dad has no say in this, and when you multiply that by thousands of state and city workers, you have a lot of money.

Pensions are deferred compensation, not free money. Your father's pension is 100% money he earned.

Yep. I pay into my pension each hour I work. Mine amounts to $5.15 per hr out of my check.

Good article.
