Yes, Richie, it is very nice to get the guaranteed retirement package.

Working for the Federal government will not make you rich but the retirement package is good - well, it is not as good now under FERS - but I am under CSRS.

I still pay for my health insurance every month. I paid into Medicare out of each paycheck.

Remember, Richie, everyone had the opportunity to go into the Civil Service. You could have had the same thing, too. Everyone chooses their career path.

I remember seeing a post of yours saying you were a long haul trucker for 40 years. I did everything in my job above the books and according to the law. Would you swear to the same thing?
