Not sure what you’re saying there; how long can you ask young people to pay pensions to people who retired decades before they were even born? Our state is falling apart because more and more current revenues go to people who haven’t lifted a finger in decades. Today’s taxpayers don’t pay taxes to improve roads; they pay taxes for the guys who used to improve roads until they retired in 1990.
I support pensions being self paid. However that was not the system i worked under. I saved some extra money and bailed out my mother before she died.
My general point is when you are 71 and someone changes the game and you can’t work or adjust you’re up shit-hole creek.
The state has done nothing to change the system. I showed why it should be tiered because we all have different formulas. People who retired after me were given a huge bump by Davis. Now we may face a cut the same as them. The impact on the oldest and the lowest paid will be the hardest.
The 21 billion to illegals hangs heavy here. Even if I move my pension comes from California.
