what is better for us.
In general know very little about economics because they have never had to think about profit. They get tax free pensions in many states once they hit 55 or before after 30 years. So for example say they live to 80, that is 25 years of pension at 60% of their average three highest salary years in New York. If they work more than 30 years their pensions increase by 1.5%. So an average salary at $80,000 that is $48,000 a year for 25 years in my example for which there was no contribution by them. Also, tax free in New York. I have met and know of many teachers, especially those who were in high school with my daughter that could barely pass their courses and it is getting worse every year.
So many students then go into college and major in useless fields. What a waste!
