PENSIONS FOR EMPLOYES A sweeping retirement bill described
Congress has approved a measure to raise maximum annuities for federal employees to 1200 with the government bearing about half the cost. The bill would cost the government about 19 million annually for 30 years, rising to 30 million, while non government workers would contribute 28 million yearly. The plan keeps the government paying slightly over half the total cost and aims to extend old age pensions beyond government workers, arguing it may eventually aid the masses despite current indirect taxation to support dependents.
