平均の退職した連邦職員は、毎年32,824ドルの年金(退職プラン)を受け取る。アメリカ全都市及び郡の未積立年金債務総額は、推定5740億ドルである。年金に加えて、連邦職員は401(k)と5%のマッチングが提供されるが、その一方で、普通の民間企業の従業員は、年金はなく、401(k)の3%のマッチングが提供される。

Yes, government pensions should be brought into line with those available in private industry, individuals allowed to contribute to their account, and have constant access and view to their account information. No big payouts apon retirement, and based on a percentage of their income while employed plus whatever they have added to the account.

We need to keep pensions, since many of our government and federal workers paid into it. However, I have a problem with retired politicians suddenly getting double/triple what they were making while the rest of us have to scrape on by. We need to consider the well-being of our senior citizens but at the same time, keep our career politicians from retiring on double/triple what they made so the rest of us don't go broke.

No, pension plans were instituted as deferred compensation for government workers who receive a decreased amount of salary throughout their years of service. Thus highly qualified employees could be attracted to lower paying positions.
