So many folks do not understand the CSRS retirement system nor the FERS system. They just equate federal employees with the current inept bums in Congress which is 100% wrong.

Both my wife and I are very proud to have been long time Federal employees (me at 36 years, she at 32 years) and we both did a lot of good for the citizens of the USA.
