...And when they retire (after 20 years) - they'll get 90% of their salaries for the rest of their lives - right?

California is bankrupt, and the Legislature is still throwing away dollars like drunken sailors... The difference being, of course, that drunken sailors throw away their own dollars. Our 'leaders' are throwing away taxpayer dollars, and borrowing money that they can throw away.

Actually, I’m working in the LA area - and the big news over the last few weeks has been the impending ‘Pension Crisis’ - in 5 years 1/3 of the City Budget will be going to pensions ... ouch !

I remember doing temp work in LA circa 1975. One of the girls got hired by the city as a clerk/typist and we all thought she hit the lottery. In other words, she was set for a lifetime job at the best wages around.

And the sailors usually get a pretty good hooker for their money. Oh? California does too? Nevermind.
