Scott, here in CT, the unfunded liabilities for public unionized employees is $34 billion (that's pension and healthcare benefits, I don't know how much goes to each piece). There are 3.4 million people in CT, so that works out to $10,000 for every human in the state, $50k for my soon-to-be family of 5.
The total tax rate in CT is always in the top 5 nationally, yet the politicians primised these uniom employees $34 billion more than they took in. There are only 2 explanations - either our taxes are unreasonably low, or the benefits are unreasonably rich. There isn't a third option.
I told my governor's spokesjerk that if they ever extend that rail line up to the New Hampshire border, to sign me up for a 1-way ticket.
CT is doomed. Doomed.
