Gov workers are the greediest bastards on the planet. Most people don’t have a pension.

All gov pensions should be rolled into the “social security trust fund”.

It’s NOT their money.

Yep. Little or no sympathy from me. They used their political clout and unions to raise pensions to unsustainable levels. Now that the worm has turned, they should be needs tested to see just how much of that pension they really need.

They are always yapping about how the "rich" can afford to pay more taxes. Well, they are pension rich and can afford to take less pensions.

Perhaps a lot are as you say, but us military vets are also "government workers" and followed on by joining the civilian workers to work with/train other military "government workers".

WE served honorably and earned the pensions promised as part of the contract we fulfilled.

Being retired, my wife and I both collect from the "social security trust fund" - don't feel a bit selfish/greedy-bastard-like at all for expecting what was promised if we did what was required of us. When we fulfilled the contracts, it did indeed become our money.
