I think the average worker in California would be shocked by not only the salaries, but also the benefits the typical California State employee enjoys.
In Private industry we are forced to pay for these inflated benefits and salaries that most people in private industry could only dream of…
But as history shows, Police State’s are expensive to run.

I think the average worker in California would be shocked by not only the salaries, but also the benefits the typical California State employee enjoys.I would make anywhere from 30%-100% more if I took an equivalent IT job in the private sector.
Benefits are a wash. So far my healthcare has been pretty good, but the dental is weak (which of course is what I need the most help with). No 401k either. With the budget cuts, job security is out the window as well.

The government is supposed to answer to the people it’s supposed to serve. Not the other way around.
A few months ago the LA Times had an article on some of the council members who weren’t taking raises because of the budget problems. I think there 8 of the 30 that weren’t. I admire that. I still think they’re overpaid, but it’s noble if not much more.
Our democratic government jobs are really more socialist, as are the the programs for people who don’t work at all.
It’s no wonder were in debt, and there’s no housing bubble to provide a windfall of cash for them to overspend this time.
