Don't the Government workers get to chose their own vehicles for retirement funds?

Karen, that program is the federal worker version of the 401K. It's not something over and above what non-government workers in the private sector get. It's just a 401K (which we were very late to get, BTW). Federal workers are now also covered by SS, too, just like everyone else. The comparability you're looking for is already there.
