[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1949721, member: 229"] Fair enough, but at the same time - I'm investing in that same pot of money and its likely I'll not see any of it (I'd kill for something even with no COLA). If the economy is down and the government isn't bringing in the revenue (I'm not saying they're not squandering away what they're getting) then its really just part of the deal isn't it? If you had invested in stocks and they weren't doing well, you'd be in the same position right? Don't get me wrong for a second - I have sympathy for those of you who did your time in the working world and aren't getting back what the government promised but at the same time, At least you're getting something :) [/QUOTE]
