[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The federal government does not see it as a welfare program, but an investment into your retirement.  Curent federal government employees are repeatedly informed that their retirement has thepree legs: TSP, FErS pension, and SS.  If the government suddenly began telling its employees that it's only three legs if the employee has not saved enough in their TSP, how many people do you think would be diligent about putting money aside? i definitely would not. I can find ways to use some of that Biweekly deduction into TsP right now. I'm sure it's the same for people who are non-federal employees, denying themselves today as they plan for the future.

So the solution is a "pay as you go" program that puts a continually increasing burden on subsequent generations when those subsequent generations had nothing to do with making the problem worse in the first place?  If you have no problem doing that to your kids and grandkids i don't think we're going to find much common ground on any topics. [/quote]
