Just wait for the CA Legislature to start tapping into that Public Employees Pension fund...

Quoted previously by lendaddy:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."
-- Alexander Tytler
This is an odd twist with legislators tapping the peoples pension fund. If these legislators were Teamsters, they would go to jail for even suggesting it.
