If you want to cut government spending, Id say a good place to start is cutting the 1,001 public assistance programs and fining the people who have been abusing them for years.
Back in 2008, the Daily Bail's Bill Zettler listed what can only be described as an eye-popping list of the top 100 pensions due to school administrators in the state of Illinois.
The total estimated cost of these pensions is almost $1 billion -- at $887,925,790 -- for 100 people!
Why do these people deserve a bailout again?
I think pensions should be done away with.
Give people a 401k match and that way you don't end up with all the unfunded liability of pensioners 40 or 50 years down the road.
Also, I don't understand why/how someone can "retire" after only 20 years. That just blows my mind.
Guys used to get on a City P.D. for example in their early 20's, earn their retirement and then take a job with another P.D. and earn a second retirement. I don't think it goes on anymore.
"Twenty and Out" programs used to be pretty common for police and fire jobs. They were meant to bring new blood into the department and to not have guys in their sixties still working patrol. I am not sure of who is still doing them in Indiana. Guys used to get on a City P.D. for example in their early 20's, earn their retirement and then take a job with another P.D. and earn a second retirement. I don't think it goes on anymore.
This is just my opinion, but if you can't physically do a physical job anymore, then it's time to find a less physically demanding job, not retire.
......why can't I?
Self respect?
Pretty much. I was just being facetious since so many people get so butthurt about public safety employees drawing a pension when they retire. Guess I should have used purple.
Well, you are a millionaire after all...
Or we could just suckle the teat of unemployment benefits or come up with some magical disability and draw SSI. The hood rats do it, why can't I?
