Why dont you work to establish a retirement system that is available to all private industry employers to supplement social security. Just because public employees have some retirement security does not mean you should be jealous, you should try to duplicate it. All you have to do is have employers put 20% of an employees pay in a retirement account and the employee contribute 10%. In 30 years you too could have a nice secure retirement as long as it is managed correctly. If calpers put all their cash under a mattress today, there would be enough dough to provide retirements for all current retirees for the next 200 YEARS.

PEBRA gives state workers pension guarantees superior to private sector workers. It does nothing to fix the current pension mess. PEBRA does little to reform the generous “3 at 50″ retirement benefit that is bankrupting the state. It leaves the door open for taxpayers to pay state worker health and pensions costs in full. PEBRA isn’t the reform California needs – eliminating pension guarantees completely. http://orangejuiceblog.com/2009/11/pension-reform-sham/ A proposed pension reform initiative, the Public Employees Benefits Reform Act (PEBRA), should die an early death and never see the ballot box.
