Quote HistoryQuoted:
There's an easy fix for that - you let them collect full benefits for the first 5 years, then you reduce the pension by 10% per year until it gets down to zero. If they don't want to postpone their retirement & draw their pension later then they'll have to; find another job; live off social security; get a reverse mortgage; have their kids subsidize them; or come up with another solution...

Quoted:
retirees are living much longer than before, the days of retiring at 65 and dying at 72 have been replaced with retiring at 65 and dying at 90. Low interest rates hurt too, tremendously. Pensions cannot be invested solely in stocks; they rely on a certain level of interest income that we haven't seen in over 10 years. If they don't want to postpone their retirement & draw their pension later then they'll have to; find another job; live off social security; get a reverse mortgage; have their kids subsidize them; or come up with another solution... |

Repeat after me PUBLIC PENSIONS ARE A SCAM PUBLIC PENSIONS ARE A SCAM PUBLIC PENSIONS ARE A SCAM Also, Florida's Lottery is a scam. The promise was: 100% of the profits after operating costs was to be used to fund education. So they take the money, put it in the education budget, then transfer it to other State expenditures. Technically, they aren't lying. |
