Pay Increases for Federal Retirees

I take exception to Keith’s remarks “that the average federal pensioner is getting double dips and triple scoops, all of them with COLAs like me.” Very few are getting Social Security. Social Service retirees receive COLAs. Why not federal retirees?

I do not believe, however, that all individuals should be eligible for Social Security benefits; if they have an income over a certain amount, they should not receive Social Security.
