— $3.5 Trillion Taxpayer Liability Housed Inside A Cave – Let The Sun Shine On Federal Pensions – Adam Andrzejewski (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would love it if Andrzejewski would focus on me and my $50,856 Civil Service Retirement System pension.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2017/03/14/3-5-trillion-taxpayer-liability-housed-inside-a-cave-let-the-sun-shine-on-federal-pensions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal retirement systems cost taxpayers billions of dollars. In 2012, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management admitted that 21,000 retired federal employees collected pensions exceeding $100,000. Yet, since the macro-disclosure, agencies have gone silent. Over the last five years, the number of six-figure pensions likely doubled or tripled, but we’re left in the dark.)
