where the couple might retire on his educator’s pension

And the Poltical/Media class tell us not to worry that US Governments, at all levels, is so seriously in debt?

An “educator’s pension” is VERY GENEROUS.

This is a problem. Government and educator's pension is based on about 25 years of service. Hell, I was just hitting my prime after 25 years of work, certainly not thinking of sitting at home waiting for a pension check to come in the mail.

I expect to work until at least 70. Maybe I go a few years longer if I'm still healthy. But that's not how our public service employees think.
