>> Basically, if you work for government - you are fully protected with life-long pensions and excellent health care. Government takes care of its own, and will continue to do so.

I remember a time when if you worked for the gubmint you accepted a lower salary with the understanding that your fringe bennies would sort of make up for it. (Socialism in other words.)

But now... gubmint employees demand big honkin’ paychecks AS WELL AS gold plated fringe benefits.

Especially teachers. Er, sorry, I meant *educators*. That corrupt class of ‘ratfilth CAN NEVER BE PAID ENOUGH for indoctrinating our children into marxism. A pox upon them.

As a retired County employee, I often feel guilty in having accepted a generous government pension for the last 24 years.

At least I wasn’t forced to join a Florida government union.

Of course, it could have been much worse. ‘Heard of Countys’ “Drop Programs”?

You are late to the party. The defined benefit pension pan for Fed employees, CSRS, was phased out in the 1980’s and replaced by a mostly defined contribution plan, FERS and TSP. Local and State government employees still have defined benefit plans and great benefits in most cases.
