CARPE DIEM: Top Recipients of Public Pensions in New York Would Rank as 178th Largest Economy in World

CARPE DIEM: Top Recipients of Public Pensions in New York Would Rank as 178th Largest Economy in World
"MP:
There are more than 22 retirees receiving more than $200,000 per year, and one receiving more than $300,000.

In total, New York taxpayers are paying more than $370 million per year to just this partial group of retired New York public workers, which doesn't include those receiving less than $100,000 per year and doesn't include New York firefighters.

If this group of retired workers on the NY Times list was considered as a separate national economy, it would rank as the 178th largest country in the world by GDP."
