Yes, government pensions should be brought into line with those available in private industry, individuals allowed to contribute to their account, and have constant access and view to their account information. No big payouts apon retirement, and based on a percentage of their income while employed plus whatever they have added to the account.

As a doctor I make 60,000 a year less than I could make in the public sector. The benefits balance this reduction in wage. If you're going to cut my benefits then raise my salary so it's commensurate with MGMA average.

Eliminate "double-dipping". Establish minimum service (vestment) requirements such that a "Full pension" (such as seen at the Federal level with congressmen) is NOT paid for a life time for a minimum of actual service.

We need to keep pensions, since many of our government and federal workers paid into it. However, I have a problem with retired politicians suddenly getting double/triple what they were making while the rest of us have to scrape on by. We need to consider the well-being of our senior citizens but at the same time, keep our career politicians from retiring on double/triple what they made so the rest of us don't go broke.

No, pension plans were instituted as deferred compensation for government workers who receive a decreased amount of salary throughout their years of service. Thus highly qualified employees could be attracted to lower paying positions.

Phase into a private plan that matches private trends and get rid of Congressional benefits and pensions altogether at Federal Level. Let the states decide if Congressmen should receive state benefits.
