“The law actually requires agencies to “budget” and then “transfer” funds in a requisite amount to OPM for investment what amount to t-bills to cover later retirees.”
Sounds like you’ve got your very own Al Gore style “Lock box”....
It gives me no joy to observe that most government benefits are not going to be paid out as expected - it likely includes military retirement benefits, and Social Security, and others.....
I’m just saying that regardless of how little or how much you do as a government employee - you’re going to get equally hosed like everyone else expecting a government benefit over the long-term.
In that way you are just like state and municipal employees, who are very likely to be in the same situation as you.
State and municipal employees aren’t in as good a position. Their boss does not print money.
