But your analysis of government "benefits" doesn't take into account health care...
where insurance companies will refuse to cover or reimburse almost anything.

Originally posted by Mojotronica View PostIt's a common tactic of managers of government agencies and large institutions (even privately-held institutions) to increase benefits by back-loading them in fat pensions. That way, in the short term, the institution/agency looks thrifty with quality employees at low salaries. Eventually, after the manager retires, the pensions start coming due leaving the institution insolvent. Your anger at the beneficiaries of the pensions is mis-directed, you should be angry at management that created the problem for short-term, partisan, personal, political gain.

Only sava could think that ignoring medical leads to an OVERSTATEMENT of the increase in government worker remuneration over the last generation.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that the NYC self-insures its medical benefits.

I don't think US renumeration levels are so high, at least for non administrators/special needs teachers.
I know that my mom works as a public employee, had to tap her pensions because of being unemployed earlier (her program to help out troubled teen girls was cut), and currently makes less than 40k (I think) despite being in her 50s.
Some public employees get paid too much just like private employees. One side rails against the CEOs/etc, the other side rails against the overpayed public school teachers/etc.
