Same for cops:

That doesn't count the teachers with tenure and PHD's or the cops who are detectives and lieutenants, etc.

No wonder every city and county and state in the U.S. is going broke.

I'm not so sure about teachers. Every teacher I know has a hard time supporting themselves. They don't have tenure yet though so maybe that is where things change.

I do know that in 97 my favorite teacher who had been on the job for 32 years was only making $45k a year salary.

Cops did get a huge bump somewhere it seems. I was shocked to see local ads with $45k starting salary and never mind all the perks like take home cars, overtime up the ass, etc.
