Not to mention grandfathering pensions so that they get theirs, and everyone else gets nothing.

Do you think you could take that chip off your shoulder long enough to learn some facts before you continue spouting off? If so, I direct your attention to Who Killed Private Pensions.

Baby Boomer or Generation Xer, we all have a difficult road ahead of us. Drivng a wedge between the generations is not helpful.

“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.
