Reply #21: That is a ridiculous and repulsive position for Cogan to take.

” They'll get an average of $1 million in cash and health-care bennies over the rest of their lives, which makes them millionaires!"

How long is the "rest of their lives"? 15 years? 20 years? That would average out to $50,000-$67,000 a year "cash PLUS benefits".

These were the same people crowing that teachers in Wisconsin made $86,000 salary PLUS benefits. One can't dismiss the value of health benefits. They amount to much more than pocket change.

These "senior millionaires" are likely living off about $2500 a month. I guess if they get a long-term debilitating illness they could "scam" they system for over $1 million. Those conniving bastards!
