In response to the Lower spouter complaining about state pension

North Cape May - In response to the Lower spouter complaining about state pensions: I collect a state pension, but I surely won't get rich on it. You must have a very exaggerated idea of what retired state workers actually receive. Since retiring more than 10 years ago, cost of living increased, social security has increased a tiny bit, investments are totally stagnant in most IRA's, groceries are through the roof, township taxes increased more than $1,000 per year, etc. Most township or state employees worked for lower wages to earn the pensions that prevent welfare.
