    Rescue MI by capping government-class benefit costs | 10 comments (10 topical, 0 hidden)
    The 411,000 non-federal government employees (none / 0) (#9)
    by leondrolet on Tue Jun 23, 2009 at 07:17:57 AM EST
    are employees whose PRIMARY OCCUPATION is their government job. So the only township officials included in that figure are full-time township employees.

    Look, Stevie, if you have a beef with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting of the average benefits costs for the government class or for the citizen class, please let them know. The Bureau is required to collect the information monthly and report it to the federal government, and have been doing it for decades.

    Or maybe you don't trust the U.S. Census Bureau? They are the ones reporting the 411,000 Michigan residents who claim a non-federal government job as their primary occupation.

    Do you have a problem with the PREMISE of my proposal? The premise being that the benefits enjoyed by full-time government sector employees should cost about as much as the benefits earned by full-time private sector citizens?

    I mean, even if my proposal were adopted, these government class workers would still enjoy higher pay and job security that other citizens. Only their bennies would be equalized. Is that OK with you?
