I’m one of those who decided early in life to work for the public sector. I started at 23 years old and have been paying into my retirement plan for 30 years.
Now, because of the crap that is happening I’m supposed to feel guilty because the whiners didn’t plan as well as I did 30 years ago?
Screw all you aholes!!!
You sound like a government employee.
When you’re living off the largesse of a public that is increasingly strapped for cash, it appears you didn’t so much plan well as just buy a little time before you circle the drain yourself.
Enjoy the ride down, all those you term “aholes” will be waiting for you, lol.

What percent of your income did you pay in? What did the government pay in on your behalf? Why did you expect the government to invest (spend) your money wisely?
I'm sorry, but you bought into something that was too good to be true. Your decision ranks right up there with someone voluntarily deciding "That there Social Security sounds like a great thing - start taking a big ol chunk out of my paycheck today!"
"Now, because of the crap that is happening I’m supposed to pay even more taxes because the public employees decided their best lot in life was living off of someone else's dime 30 years ago? Screw them that want to put the thumb screws to the rest of us because they were foolish enough to think the government was a competent retirement fund manager passing Willie Wonka's golden tickets."
Be careful.
The people are pissed off. It is precisely your attitude that is going to screw your retirement check.
Thank you for your insightful comments.
Private sector pensions have been under attack for at least two decades as private companies calculated the long term costs. The costs were unsustainable so companies cut back their pension plans.
Public sectors pension costs are even more unsustainable and must be reduced to a viable level. Welcome back to reality...

Am I supposed to congratulate you for taking the easy way out?
“Now, because of the crap that is happening I’m supposed to feel guilty because the whiners didn’t plan as well as I did 30 years ago?”
No, but your check may well eventually be a lot smaller than you and your “plan” figured.
“Screw all you aholes!!!”
You should be nicer to the folks that will decide whether you will get to enjoy the largess of the taxpayer in the future.
Down with the kulak ants! Long live the Grasshopper Revolution!
