[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1484084, member: 249"] To plan your entire retirement around just your promised pension benefits is irresponsible because you are betting on other people to be honest and trustworthy when it comes to a huge pile of money that is supposed to keep your comfortable in your twilight years. As the article stated one the biggest proponents of this pension change was a large teamster pension fund. The very people who offered this highly regarded benefit as a security blanket for your retirement years are the same ones lobbying to take it away. I am simply saying rely on yourself first and hope others come through, but if you reach those golden years and something like this happens to you when you had no plan B don't expect people like me to be very sympathetic to your misfortunes. They have made their bed, and now that they get to sleep in it they want others to feel sorry for them. I am not seeing where Rush Limbaugh fits into this discussion at all. Why do you find personal responsibility such a reprehensible idea? [/QUOTE]
