"We the people" are paying tax dollars for government employees to have absolute security of pensions AND social security while we ourselves have none.  Congress has pensions, social security and special healthcare while we have to pay the tax dollars to fund their benefits.  Meanwhile, Social Security is running out of money and we have to pay tax on what little we receive.  Medicare and "Affordable Care" Act provide scant benefits for ever increasing payments.  Eliminate all government pensions and put the government (aka taxpayer) portion of all existing govt pensions into Social Security fund and protect the funds from government misuse.  Finally eliminate special healthcare for congress and have those taxpayer dollars go to Social Security.  Basically remove the benefits for the "ruling" govt class.
