[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt if FERS would be around if our country continues to take debt like this. FERS is invested in T-bonds and how do you think that would play out?[/quote] If T bonds collapse, every bank fails, all commerce would halt, FERS will be the last on my mind. [/quote] It is not the collapse but double digit interest rates on T-bonds. Imagine how much they would be paying for FERS and congress would find it easy to take away some of the benefits. [/quote] FERS isn’t “invested” in “t-bonds” any more than SS is in a “lock box”. It’s all paperwork notations. The cost of FERS doesn’t go up when interest rates go up (the cost of borrowing does but that would be true for any federal spending). [/quote] so, where are the FERS $s saved? It has to be in some form of bonds, correct? [/quote]
