One of the malign results of the failure

to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, is that there will likely be a year long orgy of anti public sector union law-making in the State Legislations of the USA.
Look for it the coss of collective bargaining rights, conversion to dicy privately administered pension plans etc, today's Globe is full of ominous signs and portents.
My question is, given the black cloud that hangs over public sector pension plans, when is Junior Senator Scott Brown gonna read the chicken entrails and formally renounce his tax player funded golden parachute courtesy of the Pentagon's military retirement pension plan?
The man was angling for a bird colonel's hat and benefits in the Maryland National Guard after all...Let us not forget that.
Waaal ah swan but as slippery as Scott Brown is, NO US Senator has ever ever ever given up a public pension or defined taxpayer paid benefit in the entire history of that institution (drop me a line ifn' Humble Elias is wrong about this kids)....So by taking that money, Scott Brown is in fact upholding the honor of the US Senate.
Cuz it is for damn sure no one is gonna interfere with their right to collectively bargain with themselves to keep their own snouts deep in the trough whilst pushing away cops, firemen and the much derided social worker.
But honestly please, as a favor to Humble Elias, that bedraggled veteran of the local blogging scene, can someone out the please ask Scott Brown for his opinion on Public Sector Union Benefits in the light of his own National Guard Pension Plan?
