Too friggin’ bad. I am thrilled the foundations for repeal of these lush unaffordable public hog trough benefits has been laid. These public pension plans have been far too rich for far too long. They are unaffordable AND UNEARNED. They were granted by stupid feel good bleeding heart libs and retards who had no idea the cost of what they approved and did not have one clue how out of range the pensions are with what the real world is able to get.
Full or near full retirement at 50 with inflation provisions AND healthcare? WTH! The cost for that is obscene. The benefit alone just about doubles the effective annual pay of some public sector employees!!!
Most of us mere mortals have to save 25% of our gross for 35 years and manage the money carefully before and after retirement and stand at personal risk of failure and destitution for it all... no such risks for public sector pensioners.
It is Sunday so I will refrain from saying what I really think... but public pensioners can go to ... well.
Horsecrap! Both the public officials and the unions knew exactly what they were doing -- trading bennies for votes.
