America's Greece?

摘要

Bruce rauner, a Republican, liked to talk tough about unions and public-sector pensions when he was campaigning for governor in Illinois. "The system is full of fraud and self-dealing and abuses, such as folks who have a pay rise in the last years of their career [so their pension is higher] or folks who moved in and out of certain jobs, so they could get a pension," he said in August 2013. With two or three pensions, some are making as much as half a million dollars in retirement pay, he claimed. This, he thundered, is a rip-off of taxpayers and other workers.
