"They need to crack down on people collect 2, 3, or sometimes even 4 government pensions.

Good point knucklehead.

Did they crack down on Ronald Reagan when he collected a Califronia State Government Pension and a Federal Govt Pension, plus the Screen Actor's Guild pension, and Social Security?

Envy directed toward CEO's or Govt pee-on workers, is still envy.

I don’t think it’s envy.

I think it is boarding on fraud.

Pension and retirement benefits were entended to help people in their twilight years and a reward for a LIFETIME of service.

Unions have distorted this, and now people are working 15 years or less in many cases and are collecting “retirement” benefits of various sorts for 60+ years for jobs they only worked at for 15. Then they repeat the process at 2 or 3 other government jobs and get that multiple times, THEN they are taking advantage of how the benefits are calculated by working 1000’s of extra hours of overtime in their final year, so that they can actually be paid MORE to retire than they were when they were working FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
