No, not until we decrease our national debt

 @9FTBXB8 from Georgia disagreed…6mos6MO

There are many ways we could decrease our national debt and the steps are not being taken to do so. Increasing government pensions needs to happen and there needs to be steps taken soon.

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

 @9FN7QK2from Guam disagreed…6mos6MO

The government workers work honestly, most of them are honest in nature. Most of the politicians are mostly corrupt and have businesses through which they earn money. So, they don't need pensions.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

 @9HXLBBMagreed…3mos3MO

a pension is a retirement arrangement in which your employer promises you a regular payment from the day you retire, for as long as you live

Reduce for retired politicians and increase for retired government workers, specifically low-income individuals.

 @9JW87V6 from North Carolina answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only for lower-income government workers, not politicians or executives. Adjust them yearly for inflation

Yes but get some information of them and make sure they are using that amount of money in good stuff and not helping the environment

pension payments for everyone should be pretty equal and enough to actually cover cost of living

 @96L6LJ5 from Arizona answered…1yr1Y

 @96CPH9Q from Kansas answered…1yr1Y

depends. the pension was offered to keep people in the work force, however, with the current economical issues we are facing with inflation at 37 year highs they are on a set income. you could do a dual approach in the private sector with "savings or discounts" and a slight increase in pay

 @965K9Z8Democrat from West Virginia answered…1yr1Y

No, depending on how much they worked or how well they perform, than that's how much they'll get payed. You shouldn't reward a lazy worker with the same amount of a hard worker.

For low income pensioners, not politicians, include cost of living adjustments

It depends on cost of living and if they already have an income everyone deserve the right to have enough money to live

I hate the idea of unionized public employees. Many people with no pensions at all are paying for theirs!

 @92KW7Y2 from North Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

I believe your pension should be based on your work ethic along with how long you have worked.

Adjust them to costs of necessity and comfortability. Do not cater to outlandish luxury.
