That’s only three additional pennies per dollar.
At the same time, cut all present retirement checks by 2 percent. Again, that’s only two cents per dollar.
Few of us Retirement Fund members, whether still working, or retired would even miss the few cents.
Yes, I know, it’s the government’s fault that we are in this fix, but, we, the members of the Fund, are stuck with the results. Given a choice between giving up a few cents per dollar of income now, and getting nothing later, what sensible person would object?
