>>Other abuses detailed in the book include widespread "double-dipping." Public employees can start collecting their full pensions while returning to their old job as consultants.<<

I double-dipped, but it's not necessarily the gold mine it's made out to be. The problem is that you pay a LOT of taxes.

OTOH, my reason for quitting government employment early was to avoid having all my eggs in one pension basket. Just in case my state goes broke, I want direct control over most of my retirement funds.
