Should retired government employees with pensions.?

Be able to draw social security. Since the pension is taxpayer money to start with, is this double dipping?

    They do not pay into Social Security and do not collect from it. They get to keep their money and manage it themselves. What a friggin rip off that is!

    Kill the whole dam* program, now.

    Those government employees contributed to social security, that's why.

    And, for the record, the pension system was dropped several years ago. Many Federal employees will get no such thing upon retirement.

    Jerry Brown allowed California government workers to unionize in the 70s. So now they elect him in 40 years later to fix California debt to the unions???? I think states should file for bankruptcy so they can settle on somthing other then the billions they owe. Start over no more retirements for state workers maybe a 401k were it can be budgeted every year
