It's Time for Congress to Share Pension Pain
IndyStar.com 
[Opinion] June 4, 2012
"All federal workers, elected and unelected, enjoy retirement benefits better than the bulk of the private sector, including continuation in a relatively low-cost health-care plan. Ex-senators and representatives do especially well, even after reforms in the 1980s mandated them to pay into Social Security, among other tightening. Now, Congress is busy trying to bring federal workers' retirement contributions and benefits more in line with the private sector, a change that is warranted financially and useful politically even if it does bring some pain."
