All that for pensions and not for actual services being rendered. Soon enough it will all go for pensions.
Public pensions equal big fat burdens. Here’s a solution—have govt employees enrolled in 401-k plans and have govt fund a generous 60%-75% of the max yearly contributions allowed. That way each employee is funded for future retirement during their active working years only and from that years budget allocation only. When the job ends so does the retirement funding. No more pensions for life that heavily burden the public taxpayers for retired government workers.
