[what's up]

Having federal employees have to pay more into their pensions offsets the user fees IMO. That's a good thing.

Also, no income tax hikes. Surprised the Dems didn't push for that.

No Gov't shutdown possibility before elections...also a good thing.

"Having federal employees have to pay more into their pensions offsets the user fees IMO."

It only offsets it if the savings are used to reduce taxes in a commensurate amount. As it is the savings by having the federal employees pay more are just being spent somewhere else.
