We have bus drivers retiring at 60.



This is what i have a problem with. These types of positions being able to retire off the taxpayers dollars. I mean why was this not brought up decades ago? my taxes go up so that i can pay for jobs that have no business being able to get a pension at 50 and 60.

Are you one of those who are also complaining about older workers NOT retiring to open up positions for younger people?

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

If the retirement pay isn't high enough to support their lifestyle, then they stay in the job until it does. An 85 year old university president isn't drawing anyone in, yet if he can't afford to retire at 60-70 he ain't retiring.

Same thing with an auto worker, welder, plant baw, etc.. Ya think those Wal Mart Greeters are are there for kicks? If they had enough to be retired comfortably they'd be at home drinking coffee, off their feet, and some dumb kid staring at his phone would be saying "Welcome to Wal Mart" instead.
