Public Servant Pensions

Quote from nutmeg:

Never ever going to happen.

But here's a suggestion for those of us who don't like these union/pension benefits. Let's put a bumper sticker on our car saying something like:

Break up the police unions

no pensions for firefighters

teachers retire with too much money.

You'd look like a real "reformer" now wouldn't you? *sarcasm*

We are screwed.
"Break up the police unions'

make paying traffic tickets part of your budget.
staying overnite free in a hotel will be your idea of a "short" vacation.
the name of the hotel,in case u are wondering, is called jail.

All that inconvenience for a guaranteed multi-million dollar retirement.



Meanwhile, out in the real world:

At 15 Federal Agencies, Death More Common Than Job Loss

Federal workers based in Washington DC: only 0.26 percent lost their jobs.

Department of Housing and Urban Development: only 0.15 percent

The Libtard mind-set is amazing... "Anything we can get is good"... doesn't matter if it's right, moral, or excessive. Seems they don't bother to consider that WHATEVER they get is taken away from some other citizen.

It's absurd and immoral that ANY school district mucketey-muck would get a $25 Million retirement package while the taxpayers who have to foot the bill may have none of their own. How does the Libtard justify this? How does their conscience let them sleep at night?? Then... they've got such GREEDY MIND FUCK... that they're willing to protest to defend the fact that some greedy politician immorally granted them such largess in exchange for their vote. Like, "I'm entitled to this because some scumbag asshole politician gave it to me so that I would vote for him".

Sort of like, "Crime is GOOD... EASY MONEY... so long as you don't get caught".

Some things are just WRONG. Murder is wrong. Theft is wrong.

Public employee unions and their defined benefit retirement benefits are also wrong.
 
I LOVE THAT IDEA! provided that you throw in the frigging US prez and the US royalty, congress and the house (fucking parasites), oh yea but THEN it would never happen...never mind.... :(
Quote from PocketChange:

Why not eliminate all public pension plans for Govt / Public employees and have them receive standard social security benefits?

Take all the funds and beef up the Social safety net... Teachers Pensions, Congressman Pensions, Police, military et all.

If you choose to be a public servant you should receive the same benefits as provided to the "real" tax payers. There is no reason for a retired police commissioner to receive a $500K annual pension and be contracted as a part time consultant for another $500K. Whatever the legal justification is an irrelevant sham... Its just fraud and thievery.

All of our cities, schools and public services are crumbling because the tax base has decreased and the unfunded pension liabilities are increasing well past any ponzi scheme.

Infact, pass a federal law that states any deviation would be deemed a bribe.

The original idea was to volunteer to serve the public interest and than get back to your life. When over 40% of our tax payers are public servants being paid out of taxes the system is unsustainable.

You've got congress raping and pillaging accounts left and right. The postal service is being bankrupted not through its operations but by congress enacting they prepay 70 years of pension funds so they can back door it somewhere else.

Lets see how well this police commissioner can lie on his SS benefit of $1867 / month.

I don't think the general public has any clue on how many Seniors are only able to survive because of SS and medicare.
