Just look around your circle of friends. Most od the retirees are former civil servants. When they were in the early 20's, their friend were saying: "your salary is not enough to send your kids to college, etc." But look what happened 40 years later. Those working for private companies had to look for jobs again and again since merger, acquisition and bankruptcy, hence never have a good pension fund. I am talking about the majority of people. Of course there are exceptions like many of the posters on this thread.

The hare and the turtle. Seems the turtle wins.

PS Nowadays, civil servants are under SS. But congress? One term congressperson, just serving one 2 year term is set for life!
