Back in 2005 — when Disneyland turned 50, George W. Bush began his second term in the White House and Microsoft released the Xbox 360 — a mere 1,841 people collected pensions exceeding $100,000 a year in the massive California Public Employees Retirement System.

By 2009, when Barack Obama was inaugurated and Chesley Sullenberger landed an airliner on the Hudson River, this so-called $100K Club had more than tripled, to 6,133 retired workers.
