Ex congressman lobbies to curb pension kicker
Former Rep. Hastings Keith of Massachusetts told a House subcommittee that federal pension increases are rising faster than living costs. He urged eliminating the one percent kicker in the adjustment formula, arguing it overcompensates during inflation and boosts retirees beyond need. Keith warned the kicker fuels inflation pressure and proposed freezing pensions that outpace cost of living until catch-up.
