Playing taxpayers for suckers

American Thinker Blog: Playing taxpayers for suckers
"One of numerous ways taxpayers are being ripped off by public employees is through phony 'retirement' schemes that enable the employee to collect a fat pension in addition to continuing to work and receive salary and benefits.

The 'retirement' pay becomes, in effect, a huge pay increase, one usually linked to inflation.

This 'double-dipping' is not uncommon when taxpayers are on the hook, but exceedingly rare in the private sector.

Quite clearly, the politicians who sign such contracts are, in collusion with the employees (and their unions), playing the taxpayers for suckers."
