[quote=condogrrl]Aw, quit your whining and go apply to work for the city. I’m sick of all the San Diego citizens complaining about city workers and their retirements. Every one of you has, or had, the opportunity to work for the city. So go do it, or shut up.[/quote]
Ughhhh…. this is your answer to what is a very serious problem?
Maybe I should quit complaining of CEO’s outrageous salaries and become one, or stop complaining about corrupt politicians and become one.
Anybody given any thought to the accumulating debt resulting from these types of pensions?? When did it become the tax payers responsibility to take care of public workers until they die? Think about it people… how in the hell are we supposed to pay for the thousands of pensions for life that are coming down the line?
You don’t need to be an economics major to know that paying people 60%+ of thier salaries for 30-40 yrs while they produce nothing is going to bankrupt the country.
Paying any public employee more than they made when they were actually productive is insane.
