California faces a pension showdown

California drastically increased public employee pension benefits in the fall of 2003, when the state allowed employees to purchase "airtime." Prior to the pension e, a 50-year-old fireman making $89,000 a year could retire at age 50 after 30 years of service and collect an $80,100-a-year pension with life expectancy of 76.3 years.

But under "airtime," the fireman could purchase extra years of seniority at a cost per of $0.18022 per year for every $1 of salary. For $80,197.90, the fireman could increase his pension by $13,350 to $93,450. Such an investment in "airtime" would return a spectacular income stream of $351,105 over the next 26.3 years of life expectancy.

Do a search to figure it out [how many undo ented students there are] Pav.

Quantify it. Otherwise you have yet another imaginary problem.

Conservatives imagine so many.

So what do you think this says?

This is very fiscally responsible.

The COLA for 2018 is 3.6%

https://www.lafpp.com/members/plan-d...justments-cola

That rate just makes it EVEN worse.

You think this is very fiscally responsible? A loan of $80,200 for 26 years yielding $1112.50 ($13,350 divided by 12) per month is over 16%. Where in the world can you get a guaranteed return of 16%? Why do you think Cal Fire sued if not that this buying of airtime benefits their members? And add 3.6% yearly COLA to that, and it increases greatly.

Hmm. Depends on the parameters of the "loan" is it a lump sum, or an amount contributed over 20 years? The blog is rather vague on that.

Looked the specifics. It is bad, and unsustainable. The payments are lump sums late in working life, not sustained contributions.

Which is why Brown and other Democratic lawmakers attempted to change it.

That isn't voter fraud.


Jesus you people are stupid.

This is incorrect. Cows both fart and belch.

How does a so called "Cowboy" not know this?

California accounted for nearly three-quarters of US jobs added in February

Yeah, ok.

"February 2019 stands out because California's job gain was large in relation to the nation's unusually small gain," he said. "You could just as easily look at January and ask why California's 5,900-job gain was so small relative to the nation's 311,000 job gain."

Still, Henry said it's perhaps more meaningful to look at trends over several months and not a single month such as February.

[TeyshaBlue]

RG and his drive-by posting. Didn't bother to read your own post. Probably need to look at the current BLS report.

Salon or VOX probably doesn't have this

Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in two states in February 2019: Florida (+25,200, or +0.3
percent) and Idaho (+3,600, or +0.5 percent). (See table 3.)
Twenty-two states had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment in February. The largest
job gains occurred in Texas (+268,800), California (+222,500), and Florida (+211,900). The largest
percentage gain occurred in Nevada (+3.5 percent), followed by Utah (+2.9 percent) and Arizona (+2.7
percent). (See table C and map 2.)

Do you even READ the articles you post? Cherry-picking February (which was unusually low) while bypassing the last statement "California's unemployment rate in February remained at 4.2 percent, the state reported Friday. That remains ahead of the U.S. unemployment rate, which was 3.8 percent in February."

Seriously, if you're in any of the metro areas, just look up weed on Craigslist. You will get a MUCH higher quality flower/product and will not have to pay 30-50% tax on it. Just look up "delivery service".

I haven’t done weed in years, tbh... nothing against it, just over it.
