As a federal employee, I completely disagree with this bogus "study." We don't make big bucks in the federal government, I assure you. Believe me, the taxpayers are getting their money's worth!

That's bullcrap. Federal pensions are fantastic. Same for medical

The way the federal pension system works out the employees pay for their own pensions.

If I took every penney I'd paid into CSRS or FERS over the years and did nothing but invest it in T-bills, I'd have a higher pension today.

That, BTW, is one of the biggest errors made by the fellows at CATO Institute ~ they forgot about who pays for those pensions.

Federal pensions used to be fantastic, under the old CRCS plan. The current FERS is nothing to crow about.
