Funding public pensions

[IMaDick]

"they match your contribution to your retirement? you do know that most 401K's the employer will only match 4% or so right? no matter how much you put in."

the feds only match up to 5% of your earnings if you are contributing 5% or more yourself. It's no different than other 401K plan. Granted, you can save as much as you want but you won't get anything more from the feds...

I PAY into my retirement fund, my employer matches that amount JUST LIKE AN EMPLOYER MATCHES AN EMPLOYEES SOCIAL SECURITY.

don't blame me if the government worker can't get it right about it's own retirement.
