We’re forking over $1,602 per person for retirees while our peers spend $2,687—40 percent below what they do—and we’re supposed to be happy with that? That’s not just stingy, it’s a slap in the face when we’re told we have to tighten our belts while everyone else gets a fair deal. We’re not asking for some wild handout, just to hit $2,600 per person so our seniors can scrape by like they do in the rest of the world.
