oldbabe, you are SCARING me! Unsupported pensions, no social security for people with other incomes, reductions in medicare. All I wanted to know was if "national debt" was something I should directly be worried about. I've come to the conclusion that I was right, I can't impact, so why worry. Now I'm questioning my planned Fed pension and it's security.
I was happier ignorant.
Well, good. I wish that everyone would look at the issue and get scared. We need to elect representatives who put fiscal responsibility at the forefront of their platforms.
But I doubt you need to worry about your Fed pension.
