[quote=ctr70]I have no problem with Gov worker retirees getting pensions or life health care as long as *not a penny of it* is paid by tax payers, or not a penny of it is backed by tax payers (in the case of investment losses by the pension funds). Their benefits should be no different the private sector.[/quote]
Conversely, one might suggest that the private sector should try to match the pay/benefits of the public sector. They’re sitting on record profits, and have plenty for outlandish executive compensation, after all.
