Politicians, No Pensions,
Public Employees, No Pensions, 401K only
Military is a different animal. The majority of soldiers aren't in long enough to earn much of a pension to begin with.
Those that do the 20-30 + years took far less compensation in the military than they would have made in the private sector. But we need their skill and talent in the service so to give them a pension is not only sensible its the right thing to do.
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson
