[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fair and only moving forward...[/quote]
I’m on FERS-FRAE and already pay 4.4. I don’t see how it’s “fair.” It doesn’t affect me at all. It won’t change my pay. What do I gain from other people being made worse off?[/quote]

It is "fair" because we newer highers should not have been placed in unique strata in the first place to such an extreme. [/quote]

I’ve been a fed for 15 years and was trained/worked with the CSRS pension. They have been retiring and enjoying a pension I’ll never have.

It sucks, but that is life. Ruining their pension wouldn’t make mine better. [b]My family losing 5k year doesn’t help your situation. [/b]No one wins when fed benefits continually get watered down.[/quote]

My "family" (I am single so I am a family of one, just as important--yes) loses because I make less than you at same grade/step due to unfair 0.8/4.4 percent scheme in place now. So yes the potential change would help me financially and help my morale so will help me mentally. So yep, tangible "helps".

Is your family more important than mine? Nope. What you get, I should get, as far as I can control. [/quote]
It helps you mentally to know more people are suffering? Why?[/quote]

Other people can take the job you have now if you can't afford the cut in your take home pay. Those people may be suffering now due to unemployment and their suffering will be taken away when they have the job you used to have.

I will be suffering less because an injustice has been corrected.

So again, the point is your situation is not the arbiter of what we should all care about. [/quote]
