The pension hole for US cities and states is the size of Japan's economy

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

And this right here is the problem. Public employees unions make unrealistic demands and corrupt politicians makes promises they know can't be kept in order to get their endorsement and get elected. I saw it time and time again when I was still living in Boston. Whoever got the union backing usually one and so, of course, they were willing to give the union pretty much whatever they wanted. It didn't matter how unrealistic it may have been. By the time the shit hit the fan it would be someone else's problem.

When times were flush, politicians made overly generous promises. Public-employee unions made unrealistic demands. High-profile municipal employees, such as coaches at public universities, have drawn fire for what some consider too-rich retirement benefits, while some first responders scored rich early retirement and disability arrangements.

While true this a predominately blue wall problem that is disintegrating right now and believe it or don't this is not the first time since 1900, more like the third for NY: The panic of 1907 was due to creative bookkeeping covering up Railroad damage in the 1906 San Francisco quake being found out. The St Lawrence Seaway bypassing the Erie canal was still causing out-migration in 1975 when the last bail out happened in 1975. And the Boston police man strike made Coolidge the VP.

With a predicted week of rain hitting already saturated soil from Virginia to Maine flooding will be a major problem in some areas and not in other areas. Out-migration prior to the election financed by insurance money is the big immediate problem that will have to be addressed.

If the jobs are that good then go be one. Envy is not a n enviable trait. This is a nothing burger.

Whoah there, hold on a second. From your own, linked article:
"
The CBO report is the latest entry in the long-running debate over how federal employee and private sector salaries compare. Various studies, using different methods and different sets of data, have reached widely varying conclusions.

According to the government’s official tabulation, based on Labor Department data, federal employees lagged 34 percent on average as of last fall. "
.........................

And even if it is as the CBO says... this is not the fault of people who have negotiated and won these things, it is more because the economy has gone to shit, and more the fault of labor NOT organizing , as far as benefits and compensation go. The past CBO reports reflect this on themselves, as benefits have decreased in the private sector overall, and the disparity has grown because of this.

Number's may have been skewed a bit due to Hillary paying her female staffers less than the male staffers.

No. And there is nothing in what I said that is inaccurate. People like you are just dupes who want to work cheap so the middle class is destroyed.
