The Dems offering to employ MaCabe are NOT padding his pension. Idiot Vukmir. She is a hard core Gov Walker lacky who is running up against our Senator Tammy Baldwin.

I propose making it illegal to hire a federal govt employee for the sole purpose of padding a pension. Taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook to inflate the pensions of deep state agents who have proven they can’t be trusted to work for govt. #wiright #wisen

I propose you make it illegal for state workers to traipse around the state telling strangers how to vote in 6 months unless they give up the paycheck for the job the taxpayers already pay them for.

So you're one of those "deep state" tin foil hat wearing extremists? Of course no-one should be hired solely to pad a pension but drop the alt-right rhetoric.... please.

1. "deep state agents who have proven they cant be trusted to work for govt."

Where's her proof of that, that piece of shit? Hint: Regurgitating the lies of the shitting Crybaby-in-Chief doesn't count as proof!

3. She just drools out RW crap like Waker, Rupugs and Fox do.

4. Wonder what her record is on Mike Flynn?

6. She heard it on Fox "news"

So it must be true.

No, Andrew McCabe Isn't 'Losing His Pension'

I write about retirement policy from an actuary's perspective.




Note: See updates at the bottom of this column.

In the news this weekend, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe had been fired. And I'm not going to debate whether this was right or wrong, especially not in this forum. But I wanted to address this as far as retirement issues are concerned.

The reports that are flying across the news, Twitter, and Facebook are that McCabe was just two days short of retirement and that this move by Sessions will, as, for instance, Vox, reports, "cost him his federal pension." On Twitter, Andrea Mitchell writes:

One suggestion from a McCabe supporter: if a friendly member of Congress hired him for a week he could possibly qualify for pension benefits by extending his service the extra days

and Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton tweeted in reply,

Would be happy to consider this. The Sixth District of MA would benefit from the wisdom and talent of such an experienced public servant.

Which all gives the impression of a veteran, elderly federal official being cheated out of his pension accruals due to a vindictive Trump administration. But this didn't pass the sniff test. Pensions -- public as well as private -- are required to meet certain vesting requirements, and, in fact, the FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System) benefits vest at five years, meaning that benefit accruals cannot be taken away.

In fact, McCabe is all of 49 years old, likely 50 by the time readers see this, and what he lost out on was, as CNN much more calmly recounts, the ability to take his benefits at age 50, rather than somewhere between age 57 and age 62, and he lost his eligibility to a special top-up in benefit formula. These are, admittedly, tangible financial losses, but it is grossly misleading that various news outlets are giving the general public the impression that he has lost his pension entirely......................

5. A better proposal

I propose that anyone who uses the alt-right conspiracy theorist term “deep state” be immediately and permanently disqualified from holding any position of trust at any level of government in the United States.

7. I hope McCabe sues her for saying he's a Deep Agent

Those people are insane
