COLA for federal Employees
A CORRE member saw this article and passed it along.
An interesting article in the Washington Post on the COLAs for federal employees, the people who prevent a COLA for us. The article is at:

To read it, you will have to register, but there is no cost.

Another informative article by Stephen Barr who has written before on pensions, see:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/21/AR2007 032101978.html
It certainly shows the extent to which government agencies can discriminate against retirees. In a very real sense our pensions are paid by the government,and governed by agency policies and actions, and thus are a ‘government pension’. I sent Barr a summary of our problems and Internet references to the whole ball of wax. Just maybe he will mention us sometime.
