To me, there's a difference between something you need to live that was made poisonous by the government requireing aid and former managers pulling pensions of $200k+ a year. If I lived in Michigan, I'd have a big problem bailing out the FDNY pension fund when I heard that. It's endemic too, look up "LIRR Disability abuse".
