Why should govt employees get real retirement and excellent healthcare, while
we the people are stuck with SS and Medicare, and expensive healthcare?
Public Servants shouldn't get benefits that the master can't get!
Brad, that's a question that has been asked for many years. It would really be nice if it could be changed. And, if they had to deal with the same benefits as "we the people" then that could help our national debt. "We the people" all know too well that they sure DON'T deserve what they get.
Thanks Greg
This is especially true of those people in congress that play God with SS and Medicare while not experiencing it first hand.
