John Kasich Blatantly Lies On Fox News (Full Clip)

On Fox News October 20th, Ohio Governor John Kasich says -- while laughing -- that public employees get "free health care" and pay nothing into their pensions.

Nice try, Guv. On average, county and state employees pay more than 15 percent for their health care plans and more than 93 percent of public workers already pay for their own pension contribution, with no pick-up from their employers.

Additionally, all public employees are ALREADY REQUIRED BY LAW to pay 10% of their pension, and all state and county workers already pay 15% or more for their health care. In fact, Ohio's teachers, nurses, firefighters and other public employees have already made great sacrifices, saving Ohio taxpayers more than $1 billion dollars to help fix the budget crisis.

Good, but it doesn't cover the full spread of misinformation JUST about public service workers' condition(s) of employment, etc., that the extremist right and commercial media has been putting out for generations.
