Here's an email comment I stumbled across in today's March 29 Union Leader.

"My father was a public employee and has been sopping his pension with COLA's for thirty years. And lately, with his Cadillac medical plan, the state he worked for has shelled out far more to the insurance companies than he ever earned as an employee. My father remarked to me many times, "The masses are asses", the government will always get their money out of the masses to fund the generous pension benefits for their retirees.

How correct he was. Now, with the advancement in medical procedures to prolong life, thirty years collecting a retirement check will be the norm.

Just be ready to pay and pay and pay."

Paul, Bedford
