[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I think the 30% thing sucks!  As I said, I support retirement for Feds, I just think it's not right that people then go on to a lucrative second career trading on their Federal contacts.

I would support a system where your Federal retirement decreases commensurate with outside earned income at a certain point.

I don't want my taxes going to retirement for lobbyists.  But if someone wants to retire from a Fed job and be a teacher or something like that, I would 100% support it.[/quote]

Funny I would love to be a teacher but I can't afford it. I would love if I could afford retirement and be a teacher - but I am the 30% poster.

The 80% retiree was hired with this agreement and she was smart. You are mad that she made a good deal. My brother got a good deal also because it was impossible to hire lawers in the 80's for the government - there was a program that gave them a similar retirement. He is set. But for years  paid way less than he could have made otherwise.

It is the price you pay as a govt. employee - not fancy bonuses, trips, perks, etc.[/quote]
