Hey, you know?
I talk to my brothers (X’ers) and they are both working for the State of California in some capacity or another (under Calpers).
I talk to them about pension spiking, and I explain how the math doesn’t work. I mean, there is no way they are going to get a fraction of what they think they are going to get. I show them how vicious the math gets as the boomers pass into oblivion.
They just look back at me and said, “Hey, that’s the deal everyone signed.” As if that is going to make any difference at all when your generation says, “2 and 2 no longer make 4 grandpa. I hope you like Ramen, which is the food of my generation.”
Your brothers need to talk to some Indians on the reservation and ask how that worked out. ;<)
