Can’t wait for the coming administration to axe it and the right start screaming it’s Obama’s fault

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The coming administration can't "axe it". It's legislation and "the right" in Congress in voted for it.

Ah, so they’ll call it Trump legislation and take credit for it, while simultaneously blaming Biden and Obama for the cost. Got it.

Yes, I think you've got it now

Pretty sure public workers are already well compensated, what about the rest of us?

Edit: I said what I said and y'all can down vote me all you want but I'm right: they're one of the few positions where being a part time employee at multiple agencies can still net you retirement points equal to full time work and as a result all of the retired govt workers I've ever met are all double and triple dipping into their pensions they didn't have to contribute to. They didn't need anything else.
