Let’s be clear about one thing, I don’t think anyone is saying gov’t workers shouldn’t get a fair salary and savings plan; it’s just that right now what they get is unfair to the rest of us who have to actually pay for their benefits.
For the most part, there is no reason gov’t workers shouldn’t receive benefits on par with those of us in the private sector.
They deserve:
A decent salary
A 401k Retirement account with 50% up to 6% match
A standard medical plan like the rest of us get: $20-$30 co-pays, 4k deductible, etc..
No Pensions
No lifetime medical benefits
Sign them up for social security
