From the article: "Critics of the bill said it would give an unfair financial boost to employees, usually government workers, who were exempt from paying Social Security taxes on their salaries in the first place." I've looked upon my SS Ponzi payments as a ROI (Return On Investment) since I was forced to pay into it my entire working life. Now, at the stroke of a politicians pen and a whole bunch of other politicians voting for it, a group of government retirees, who probably have much bigger pensions than mine, can receive a RONI (Return On NO Investment), which will shorten the lifespan of my hoped for ROI.

Thanks for the post, Thor. It was a good read and made me aware of one more government screw job to piss me off.
