FEDERAL WORKERS PAY NOTHING

AND TO TOP IT OFF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT PAY ANYTHING INTO AN ACCOUNT EITHER, THEY JUST PAY THEM OUT OF CURRENT TAXES WHEN THEY ETIRE

it like this- if i told you to give me all your retirement money, and i spend it all, and tell you i will pay your retirement out of my paychecks when you retire

[silverleaf]

that is wrong

federal workers have a TSP plan to which they contribute (like a 401K)

In fact having bumped up to the debt ceiling Timmy Geithner uses part of the TSP fund to run the government, I believe, an end run around getting Congress to raise the debt ceiling

And this is the second time this year the government “borrowed” the federal pension funds to run the govt

Of course they “promise” to pay it back

federal workers includes military too.....can we be big enough to acknowledge what a mess we have?...how this entitlement attitude is so pervasive, that people don't think "their" pensions are the problem...or "their" benefits...its everybody elses pension and benefits....it goes on and on...(disclaimer:..husband collects Pension board money and will get guard money in a few months so we're guilty too)...

what is the number....like 60% of American homes have someone getting some govt money?...

democracy can not continue when people know they can vote themselves in more loot...

so that leaves the rest of the workers paying for all..

.the return of Robin Hood is upon us....
