Exactly. This is such a horrible situation. The Dems promised government workers rich, unaffordable pensions to buy their votes. The workers should have known better and saved more. But now that the Ponzi Scheme has fallen apart, these workers old and not in a position to work to earn the money they should have been saving. So they are screwed. Sure, its their own fault, but I don’t want to see them starving. It makes me so angry at the Democrats that they created this horrible situation to buy votes. They disgust me.
Well when this started. They had to compensate the horrid salaries of government workers and they came up with a better than poor pension to make up for the horrid salaries. It was good until about 1980 and then they chopped the pensions and still paid crap. Today you barely get a pension and the pay is atrocious.
