I would start by cutting all pay and benefits in half for all nonmilitary and intelligence personnel.
Step 1 should be to ABOLISH ALL FEDERAL RETIREMENT PROGRAMS... They are not SPECIAL, they can have Social Security just like everyone else.
As a federal worker (Civil Service Retrement System) and not a Federal Employee Retrement System, I have to agree with you. We paid our retirement from the start, and it has been in the stock markets.
The FERS employees can put a full 5% of their salary into their retirement and get up to 5% contributed by the governemt - you and me - that goes into their pocket when they retire. They get that and social security.
what will happen is that massive inflation will occur to cover all these pensions.....of course that will make the pittance we private workers make a true poverty wage....
I'm sure that guy who gets the three govt pensions will soon be on FR gloating....
all govt pensions are obscene, and if you happen to have one or will be getting one, you know in your heart you're getting something that is totally unsustainable......
but you'll say you "earned" it.......and rest of us have been twiddling our thumbs?
