Thats how long it's been, I don't see this changing right away.
I think this could be only the beginning of the end for unions in public sectors. I just think it's not going to work in a bad economy. The government has too many bills to pay and getting less back as the unemployment rate stays fixed at above 9% and the kind of money some local governments have to pay for illegal aliens. They have to cut somewhere and the only thing they can cut is the employees benefits. It sucks, but until we start cutting away all the things we pay for that we shouldn't, thats the way it's going to be.
I would rather spend the money to have half decent cops, good teachers and keep the parks clean. But instead, we are blowing money on things like Los Angeles County spending over 600 million dollars a year on illegal aliens. That does not include the hundreds of millions the state and county pay for educating illegal aliens as mandated by federal law. Which put the total around 1.6 billion, this is one county. FAIR puts it at 22 billion for the state.

That's sad... as they aren't the real issue.
As long as Cali has to sell its resources and buy back at a loss, it will always be screwed. Even if you removed every illegal and it cost the State nothing, the State would still be screwed. However, more border security, simply means that money will be moved, not saved and then add in the loss tax revenue, micro economy they do create, etc, even more lost. And the same real problems still in place....
