And I quote:

The latest budget deal from Washington includes provisions that would make new federal workers contribute more toward their retirement. And changing the rules for public pensions has been happening for a while at the state and local level.

Good, why should they get twice what a private worker get's. About time they started to level the playing field, to bad it's from running out of money and not because they want to do it.. They got them all fat and happy on perks and now that all the money is gone it's going to bite them in the ass hard at the polls. All of the government sit on your hands and do nothing paycheck collectors are going to revolt on them in a big way I bet..
