I am sure he was being facetious referencing $3/hr.
But public employees are only truly worth what the market SHOULD bear, not a penny more...if that is not the case then the public’s money is being misspent.
How many states are having difficulties finding people to take the public sector jobs? Any? How many private sector workers get the option to retire mid-50’s with full benefits and health care? WHO pays for the public sector worker’s retirement anyway?
If not, then they are not underpaid
Only people retiring at the upper 50 range are Fireman and Police. Maybe some teachers until the new rules take affect after the baby boomers FINALLY get the hell out of the way. Can’t wait for that day. Complete ruination of this country. Baby Boomers caused more problems than they are worth. Worst generation ever. Anyway I don’t want a 70 year old fireman or policeman....Absolutely not and that is what mr. idiot was basically saying....who can retire making minimum wage? No one. Why do you have all these old folks taking orders at Mc D’s and other places? They can’t live on minimum wage.
