I don’t understand the disgust over this. Every person in the United States chose a career they wanted. For those who chose a different path, are you unhappy? Why didn’t you chose this path???? Every single person in the country could have done this.
So, every single person in the country can be employed by the government?
The disgust is this: Any private company that provided lavish benefits like this would either change or would have gone under long ago.
But a government entity? Not responsible to shareholders, no need to make a profit, just address revenue shortfall by raising taxes using the votes of the very people whose benefits are so lavish. It’s a vicious circle.
As noted above even FDR was opposed to public sector unions as anyone can see where things will eventually end up.
You’re actually defending this corrupt bull s**t.
Then again, considering your comments on this site, I not surprised.
“ I don’t understand the disgust over this. Every person in the United States chose a career they wanted. For those who chose a different path, are you unhappy? Why didn’t you chose this path???? Every single person in the country could have done this.”
