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.
no smarty pants I am not saying to nullify any contracts. I am saying it should be sufficiently embarrassing for people to park themselves on the taxpayer’s backs that they stop on their own and either start a company or get a job in the private sector. Don’t these parasites have any pride
