You think CFIs were the ones that drove the retirement age increase?
Corporations aren't greedy, baby boomers are. They made wealth and voted for themselves unsustainable benefits on the backs of future generations, while selling the country's wealth overseas.
I don't want this to be one of those threads, but since you called me out..
Who's supposed to pay for all the six figure government pensions? The children of baby boomers didn't choose that, baby boomers did.
First of all, my wife's pension from working in IT for the Feds will be 36K. DoD. She is 58. I do not know what universe you are living in, but we are not there. I wish that we were, but we live in the land called "Reality".
As for unsatainable benefits, the last two wars clock in at 75k per citizen. Great news if you have stock in companies that do no bid DoD contracts. But you will not hear that on FOX, so march on.
