Let us eat cake, part douze?
“You’ll have to pay more into your pension, an effective wage cut”....
Explain to me EXACTLY how putting money away for you retirement is considered a ‘pay cut”. It is nothing more than me putting away part of my income for a future time, all the while it should be earning interest. “Budget cuts”, “pay cuts”, “reduced spending” are all play on words.
The gubmint workers are earning (I say that loosly) far more than those who actually create/build products towards our GNP instead of shuffling papers. Stop the bitching and get back to work.
