however the idea that government workers accepted lower pay is wrong in most cases and a simple tactic where if repeated enough people start to believe it.
let alone far too many of the pension systems allow workers to game the system and end up with more in retirement than in service. there are many systems where the last three years pay can be used as the basis for the pension and stacking overtime and hoarding vacation are common place means of spiking the returns.
that is the abuse that bankrupts systems. the lower end government worker gets the shaft while the higher up politicians and police and fire rake in 100k retirements.
Exactly! It's the aggregated selfishness and greed of many individuals that ruins it for all. "No single raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood."
