Wow! I sure wish the Federal govt was that generous! All I get for retirement is social security (if it's still around) and my 401k which is self-funded out of my pay other than 5% from the Govt.
FYI: From an old army guy myself: Federal gov't is generous, after 20 years in Army, I get 50% pension and DID not contribute the entire time! ALSO, FYI: SJPD officers pay almost 12% of their salary INTO their "generous" pensions (guess what? about a dozen SJPD officers NEVER saw a pension, their pictures hang in a hallway, go see them sometime). If it's such "generousity" you are looking for, go sign up and get hired! And, please, when you are collecting your generous handout while wearing a badge, that PCP induced freak who just jumped from the roof of the 7-11 and is about to take you on, we need you to stop him before he hurts me! After all, that generousity you are collecting is well worth my life!
