I would extend allowable service to 40 years.<br /><br />I would stop paying any retirement to congress.<br /><br />For the states and local governments, no employee/teacher retirement until 62 (and that would be early at reduced schedule).Mark Tempesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172703868541571574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438008.post-82822823078525547682010-07-02T22:23:29.661-04:002010-07-02T22:23:29.661-04:00While we are on a rant, let's abolish all gove...While we are on a rant, let's abolish all government employee pensions until age 67 - including retired military.Charleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497605288886434369noreply@blogger.com
