Sure I knew, I also know I’m completely against any publicly funded retirement packages for any elected official, I’m also against publicly funded retirement for most government workers as well, but elected, absolutely disagree with it.

If you want to take away my military retirement check (28 years service) and you think you’re man enough to take it from me . . . bring it on, little fella.

Why? What other benefits should government workers not be entitled to? Vacation pay? Sick leave? Health insurance? Salary? Why just retirement benefits?

Shouldn't government workers be entitled to a competitive wage and benefit plan, commensurate with the public sector? If not, what kind of employees do you think the government would be able to attract and retain?
