This is my first diary so I am clueless about putting in URLs but I have only been here in the last 3 months (not that I read all of the diaries, so please, I'm sorry if I missed yours).

With all of the commotion about SS and changes, I hope that most of the KOS readers are aware that the Federal employees, including the Senate, House, staffers, USDA employees, etc) are not part of the SS system. If I am wrong, please correct, but there is, as I see it, a shadow retirement plan that all of our elected representatives get into.

So we are asking a Congress to deal with a system that they don't even buy into!
