Some of it is tax free. The SD Fire Chief who had migraines retired medically. That is a sweet retirement.

I firmly believe that the salaries, pensions and benefits for state and local gov’t workers is absolutely out of control.
With that said, I do feel bad for those that will be affected by these RIF’s. But it has to happen.

February 20, 2010 at 1:34 AM #515529temeculaguyParticipantA drop in the bucket and a diversion from the real issue, one that Tony Vilar (aka viallarigosa, who took his ex wife’s name to sound more hispanic) loves to champion while leading the charge for illegal immigrant health care and pay. I don’t hate illegal aliens, I just think the burden should be shared by the rest of the country and it’s not just illegals, the real problem is our citizen non workers.
The real issue is, the one that doesn’t get the ire or the press is money for the poor, lots of them. California gives more in benefits to those that don’t work than any other place and they migrate here.
33% of all welfare recipients in the united states live in California, yet only 11% of the polulation lives here. Read that again, every third person on the dole in a country of a few hundred million is being supported by you. They didn’t all start here, they come here, from other states and countries because we give more, in education, health care, free rent in a fantastic climate and money to boot. All other states have a percentage that matches their percentage of the total population or less, california has three fold. If you are going to be on the dole, might as well do it in the sunshine.
Yet they distract you with anectodotal stories of fireman and lifeguards, why? If every pension was eliminated, every prison and court closed and everyone fired, every fire station eliminated and sold off and if all the police were volunteers, it would correct the problem. Attacking easy targets makes you feel good, running off poor people, sending them back to their home state, makes you feel bad and makes the politicos look hearltess.
But if it makes you feel better, have fun.
