pension
Public pensions are the one of the last survivors of the pension systems that were in place for many (private and public) in the not so distant past. Loss of pensions is yet another example of the race to the bottom for the American worker in my opinion.
Government agencies are notoriously slow and are a little behind in this race to the bottom, but give them time and they will eliminate pensions also- particuliarly when voters without pensions put increasing pressure on politicians.
Then once all the pensions are gone, we can continue the race by doing something else to the detriment of the average worker.
All the while, salaries at the top continue to skyrocket....
