One of the improvements mentioned here was "Revise government pension systems to be more in line with the public sector."

I would like to know exactly what the OP meant by that statement.

I am a retired federal government employee. I paid into the Civil Service Retirement System at 7.5% of my salary instead of Social Security. I went the last 2 years with no COLA. I pay for my health insurance. I paid for my health insurance while I was working. I have a Thrift Saving Plan which is a 401(k). I do not get more benefits than someone who worked for a good company and has a pension plan with them and they also get Social Security - which I do not.

I am not complaining by any means but it irritates me when some people think that a government pension is a freebie and government workers are do-nothings. Just like any company, there are some slugs but by and large, government employees are dedicated workers.
