Basically, if you work for government - you are fully protected with life-long pensions and excellent health care. Government takes care of its own, and will continue to do so.
If you work for the private sector, you are on your own. tough luck
Its incredible how similar to China and Russia the USA is this regard. Probably Russia is less corrupt and less under the control of its Political-crony oligarchs now.

I remember a time when if you worked for the gubmint you accepted a lower salary with the understanding that your fringe bennies would sort of make up for it. (Socialism in other words.)
But now... gubmint employees demand big honkin’ paychecks AS WELL AS gold plated fringe benefits.
Especially teachers. Er, sorry, I meant *educators*. That corrupt class of ‘ratfilth CAN NEVER BE PAID ENOUGH for indoctrinating our children into marxism. A pox upon them.
defined pensions keep horrible people in govt positions where they would have been fired in the private sector...
cops and military will do ANYTHING to keep their pensions which scare the hell of the rest of us....it means they'll do the bidding of big govt no matter what....
I think when congress gets the chance they will stop giving COLAs to military retirees. It’s a matter of time.
