The public union defined benefit recipients are now the new elite. Retired at 50 or 55, close to 80% of salary, medical paid for.
And bored silly so they get to do lots of “liberal” things.

Mine is nowhere near that. Actually the Calculation is 1.5%xYOSxFAC (Based on Highest 5 years income)
So if my FAC was 50k it would be .015 x 30 x 50k That would come out to 22,500/12 =1875 per month. Then subtract a 20% mandatory Insurance copay at approx. 300 dollars right now. It is a Medicare hybrid for Public Employees. Medicare being the Primary.
At any rate it is no where near 80% you claim.
