It makes no sense to maintain a separate goverment-sponsored retirement system for one specific industry (particularly one that has a small employee base). And if it does make sense to keep it, shouldn't we have a separate system for EVERY industry and employment market segment?I don't care what you said. It's not your choice of words that make my blood boil. It's this same sentiment - I've got mine, let everyone else fend for themselves - that fires me up. I expect that nonsense from someone who doesn't know any better. But from a fellow railroader?!
And I said "sunset": I am not suggesting RRB should be eliminated (like FELA should)... those that have paid in/are vested (like me!) would remain covered.
