This story is about to repeat itself all over our country. The sad story will start with ”I was promised” then it will move to ”I earned it” then it goes to ”I need it” and finally to ”The rest of you are ungrateful”.
You and your husband made a choice to work for the government and entrust your future to politician's promises. Now you act all shocked that what was taken from a taxpayer and given to you via a politician can now be ended by that same politician?
Here is a news flash for all of you government dependent welfare recipients which includes SS in all its forms, and all other taxpayer financed payments: Your payments are only as good as the next election.
Fine and dandy. Never mind that he contributed 9% of his salary toward that pension all those years. Never mind he wanted a better paying job at the time the to support his family. Never mind when he signed on there WAS NO UNION.....just an employee association. The union came in midstream and Hub and many of his coworkers didn’t want it or like it but were helpless to do anything about it. We’ve always been Republican but now except for a small handful I wouldn’t give most Republicans the time of day. The Demonrats sold their souls to the devil long ago. The 2 party system in this country I hope will soon be a thing of the past.
“Your payments are only as good as the next election.”
And you sound like a punk on a high horse.
