My dad has a decent government pension. He also paid 12.5% of his salary towards it for 30 years. And the pay rate was about 10-20% less than private industry.

In short Government paid my dad to do a job and it came with higher deductibles, lower salary but decent benefits and a pension. Big fucking whoop.
