Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
No one has entered the CSRS program since 1984. It's a non issue as the program has been closed for 26 years.
You're making me feel REALLY old!
Yes, it's probably more than most taxpayers who fund it get, but we also fund it, and those of us under CSRS did not have a 401K type plan (TSP) for much of our career and we were severly limited as to what we could contribute (with no fed match).
Absolutely. I pay plenty of taxes, and in addition to paying 7% of my income into the CSRS system for my entire career (which will be 36 years when I retire in a couple of years) I'll continue to pay my federal taxes after I retire, until I die, hopefully way past 100 yrs of age!
I kind of think that makes me almost self-employed!
