In reply to SeeSaw. And that is why our taxes are so high and cities are going bankrupt. The govt workers get pie in the sky retirements that the rest of us can only DREAM of. Seesaw, now that you are retired, it's YOUR kids who are paying for it, not just a little bit, but, a lot. And it is getting worse. But, the govt workers don't care, "Just give me my damn retirement at 50!" Something the rest of us CAN'T do!!!

Seesaw, you’re missing the point. Of course you did it to make a living. That’s why we all do it. My point is not an attack on you, but rather that the benefits and security enjoyed by public employees far exceed those of the private sector and are paid by the private sector. In fact, I would imagine that you may have children or grandchildren and others close to you that will be burdened for years to come as their money will go to pay for more government jobs, pensions and healthcare guarantees that they will never enjoy themselves if they are in the private sector. Recall that those of us in the private sector have no guarantees on retirement income; we rely on prudent decision making and hope that the market does well for our savings. And as for my opinion not being fact related, here’s a fact: you spent forty years in the public force as you openly declared. That reaffirms everything I have said.

I did it to make a living. Why did you do the job you did? With me, it sure wasn’t for the salary or any pension–it was for $1.85/hr. I spent 40 years working my way up to $50,000/yr. As far as what your opinionated–not fact-related, thoughts are about whether my job could have been done cheaper in the private sector–I could care less what you think!

Seesaw, that’s my point. You were a public employee for forty years. I suppose now that you will say you did it out of “public service” and not because of the security you enjoyed as a government worker. Whether you truly provided a value to the public is not for me to debate, but I can safely assume that whatever you did for forty years could have been done cheaper and more efficiently had your role been turned over to a competitive sector.

Fthe, I was a public employee for 40 years. What you say is not true–period.

Seesaw, I am not old enough to remember the clown from the 70s, but I do know that public sector jobs are not real jobs. Those who hold public sector jobs generally fall short on the competence scale and rely heavily on the paternalism of the government. Public sector employees are in the public sector for a reason and rarely leave the nurturing arms and paternalism of the government. Public sector employees are, for the most part, those who could not survive the scrutiny of a competitive labor market so they look to the government for their livelihood! And it is no coincidence that I refer to them as public sector employees and not public sector workers–that would be an oxymoron!

No, Rex. Jerry Brown has been working at a real job since the 70’s. Public sector jobs count for real jobs, whatever you think about it. You are the one who is a Clown!
