“Drivng a wedge between the generations is not helpful.”

Grandfathering people is what is driving a wedge in the first place. Entitlements for thee and not for me.

Real pension reform would involve getting the pensions on a sustainable basis, getting people (especially in public service), to pay 50 percent of their contributions.

Rather then fix the system, they’d rather crash the system, so long as they get theirs. I have a real problem with that, but the benefit is that the folks behind us, won’t have to deal with the bloated system we have today. Because it will be utterly destroyed.

Your original rant spoke to grandfathering pensions and now you are talking about grandfathering people. And I went to the trouble of showing you that pensions are not secure for those that have them.

Entitlements? I thought we were talking about jobs.

Public service pension reform? Don't think many Freepers will disagree with that.

they’d rather crash the system, so long as they get theirs Okay, I'm going out on a limb here, and assue that the "they" you are referring to is people over 55. So you think someone over 55 should voluntarily give up their job, is that what you are saying?
