“income streams” off of the taxpayers backs
get a real job, quit being part of the problem
the gravy train mentality has got to end
So you believe that a contract for a pension written and agreed to by the US Government as one party should be unilaterally nullified.
Would you think the same if a private employer’s stockholders demanded that the company’s retirees be unilaterally stripped of their pensions?
We disagree on many aspects of your argument. If the first dip is military, I do not have an issue with it. The military is a younger person’s world - so a 20 year threshold makes sense. That is not the same for most (if not all) non-military jobs. Even police do not have the same rigors placed on them as the military.
The double dipping that bothers me are those that have separate state and federal (non-military) pensions running. But those individuals, too, are simply exercising their options under legal contracts.
